If music is so valuable to us humans, then why can't humanity make a site like wikipedia for free music? There is a new generation growing up used to streaming services costing 10 bucks a month.

If it’s so valuable why not pay people that make it?

Lets pay for new music, but how about we have the old stuff be available for free or at cost?

Wikipedia covers music very well. It often doesn't include the music itself, but there's a ton of great writing and history about music.

And many artists still publish CDs, vinyl records, and other physical artifacts just like they have for ~most of our collective lifetimes. If you want new generations to experience that kind of thing, then buy some of it for them to experience.

(Or, you know: If that seems like too much work or too much money, then a streaming subscription is only about 10 bucks a month. I spent a lot more than that on music when I was a kid.)

Wait till you hear how much we have to pay for other life-saving things like drugs and surgery...
