Well from my pov just because there's lots of it doesn't mean it's interchangeable? I think legal protections on what you create gives you an avenue towards making a full time career out of what you do. And I don't think the patreons or kickstarters of the world replace that because it firstly makes you a slave to your audience and secondly forces you to become a marketer which probably great disadvantages anyone who isn't either good at that or who isn't already comfortably well off enough to afford the time to get good at it.

Finally I think it would greatly decrease the quantity and quality because frankly your time would be better spent elsewhere on things that can support you financially.

Thankfully, it's never going to happen so it's a bit of a hypothetical conversation.
