Myth #7: “People Should Support Art” Doesn’t Sell Tickets
“People should support art.”
They don’t.
They support what they value.
“Should” is not a business strategy

Value beats ideology
People pay for:
- results
- experiences
- emotions
Not moral obligations.
Reality check
If people don’t pay for your music,
they’re not immoral.
They just don’t see the value yet.
That’s on you.
