Why do you think that less investment will lead to higher quality? That seems like wishful thinking to me. Lower quantity does not imply higher quality.




Investment in for instance music is not to bring new great music to light but to make money, pure and simple.

True, lower quantity does not imply higher quality but it will put the focus on those that are driven to create, which tends to have a bias towards quality as compared to simply those that want to make lots of money.


With music I'd agree with you, but software? Movies? Books?


Movies and books, probably yes, software, probably not but there trade secrets can go a long way towards giving you an edge.
