Don't be an information-markets sucker
The debate on the information markets tends to split on the "it wants to be free" vs. "authors need to be paid" divide. That's misleading and confining.
There's content produced because some audiences (readers, viewers, listeners, etc.) will want to access it, for information, entertainment, distraction, or some mix of the above.
There's content produced because the author wants others to experience it: propaganda, indoctrination, advertising, disinformation.
