“But why would you do that if you can’t make any money from it?”
It’s so difficult to overcome this tendency to dismiss ideas because they don’t lead to income, especially if you aren’t financially secure/have years of savings in the bank.
Yes. This. It extends further to thoughts like, "but you can't expect someone to do <obviously moral thing> because it's less profitable, so how do you incentivize it?"
I propose "incentivize" be a 2026 front runner for curse word. It's just a gross concept these days.
