> Would anyone pay for a Taylor Swift subscription if that meant she could relax and produce music as she sees fit?

I have a (completely speculative) theory that the "support the artist to keep creating the work they're giving away for free" model has a ceiling when artists become visibly a lot richer than their fans.

After all, what kind of sucker would charitably donate to a multimillionaire's private jet running costs?
