People will always want to go out there, do their own thing, and get paid a middle-class wage for it. The problem is there's a surplus of these people, most actually aren't talented enough to achieve that, and for those who don't have a natural market fit with what they do, they'll have to compromise their vision.
It reminds me of artists getting priced out of a gentrifying urban center. It takes away the character of the neighborhood, but who is to say their art is good, worth fighting for, and that they're more deserving of their apartment than someone with enough money to afford the apartment.
Basically, I don't want to subsidize someone's hobby/lifestyle. I completely support them doing what they want, I just don't want to hear complaints that there's no money in it.
