Yeah but you are assuming it works in a super basic way and the content creator has no control.
If someone is selling a piece of art they take it to a curator on purpose.
And ask pretty please if they'll show the art to the rich people.
Doesn't matter how big the curation cut is: it's worth it.

What you're saying with this comment is that the curator is going to swoop in out of nowhere curate the art and then take a cut without permission. Clearly that's not how it should work.
