Totally agree that it would be great to see more artists here. I think the most convincing argument we have right now is success stories. I still hope the v4v model proves itself to be more beneficial than the paywalled legacy solutions. The closer we get to that reality, the easier it will become to onboard outsiders.
I have a hunch that long-term artistic integrity is not as convincing to most people as immediate personal gain (except for a few weirdos such as myself). And realistically, we probably won't reach many established acts anytime soon, since most of them don't even control their own material due to contractual obligations that prevent them from testing the waters in the valueverse.
Maybe it would make sense to start collecting and sharing success stories? Those could also point us toward which artists would be most interested in joining this space πΈ
