Heute ist der beste Tag in der Geschichte der Menschheit, um Kreativer zu sein

Jack Conte, der CEO von Patreon:

Today, literally today, is the best day in human history to be a creative person.

And tomorrow will be the best day in human history to be a creative person.

That is going to continue for a very long time, and that is what I actually believe in my heart of hearts.

I don't even have to stretch to believe that - it's what I actually believe.

If you want to just compare being a creative person now to 20 years ago, to 40 years ago, to 100 years ago - creative tools have become cheaper and more ubiquitous.

Think about how much it cost to make a record 100 years ago - actually, you weren't making records 100 years ago - or to make a movie 50 years ago versus now.

And then the fact that you can order this mic on Amazon and it shows up to your doorstep in a day - creative tools are more ubiquitous and cheaper than they've ever been.

People are more connected.

It's easier to find people that want to see or listen to your work than ever before in human history.

And the economics of creativity are changing dramatically.

The direct-to-fan market of the creator economy is over $150 billion - I think it's something like $174 billion. I

And that's just a piece of the overall $290 billion market that is the creator economy, which includes ads and brand deals and sponsorships and that type of thing.

That was not a thing 20 years ago, 30 years ago, and it was not available to a 12-year-old kid growing up in their bedroom in the middle of the country somewhere.

So hands down, now is the best time ever to be a creative person.
