"Valueless crap." How many markets do you want create? Horse owners said there was no value in a car. People said nobody would buy bottle water. If something supposedly has no value, put a value on it, make money. In this case someone thought a selfie wasn't worth that much, yet there are people making the big bucks taking selfies. Independent modeling. It's not my thing but if it attracts people, those people might spill over onto my work. I don't need to like something to benefit from it. That goes for everyone else here. Those calling things worthless are almost always wrong.
As for big names with large outside followings that have come in the past... It's happened more than once. They rarely attract paying consumers. Stuck in the old ways and don't understand the economy. They make the big bucks because large stakeholders become starstruck, making it easy for them to make the big bucks. They take the money and run. No need to set themselves up to earn long term from their own fanbase. Plus they're already set to earn elsewhere. Look at the posts these days. Plenty of social media links. Plenty of wallet addresses asking for donations, spread all over all these social media accounts. Never once pointing out to any of their outside following the benefits of supporting their content here. Nobody gets it.
