Well, I hope over next years more artists will think the way we do. You know, people apparently can ignore the reality, but not forever. The music industry has changed a lot over last couple of decades because of the technology, and it will change much more and for the better, I am pretty sure.

I am 100% with you. Especially regarding the direct support from fans. Bandcamp, Kickstarter, Patreon, and other similar online projects proved the validity of their models pretty well. I mean it's not necessary to force people to pay. If you are good at what you do, if you are open to directly communicate with your audience, if you can developer your "brand"/"name" online well, you have great chances to succeed, and to get supported by people who love what you do. I believe in goodness of people in general. :)
