First , the problem is that this won't happen in an utopian world, this will happen in our materialistic world.

We're quite far from that utopian world.That will take long political struggle. My guess is that when we're there , machines will probably surpass humans even in the arts.

Even if not,as far as i know ,the "youtube economy" i.e. people who earn full time salary on you tube is quite small. So i'm a bit pessimistic about it filling the economy.

The point is that money making projects will be so rare, that people would have no choice but to put money into projects that have the remotest chance making money. Funds will fund millions/billions of projects on the basis of finding one superstar project. They would diversified on a massive scale. This would be better than letting money flounder.

That or a kickstarter model where people simply give money to projects that interests them.

Why will money making projects will be so rare ? people have a certain amount of attention=money and money to give to entertainment. That probably won't drastically change.

And from that pile of money, the industry has quite an efficient ways to find superstar projects. On the other hand, on the surface your way doesn't seem efficient or profitable , and it even goes against improvements we made in that process like using big data.

And with regards to kickstarter, i haven't yet though about how it and the future.

Money making entertainment projects are rare now. Imagine how many bands there are, only a tiny fraction will make it big.

Except that work will be the only work left. So money will have to flow to it.

Money could flow to robots' owners. You can always buy better food and stuff.

Where would the robot owners put all that money?
