The Issue of Talent Selling Out

The chapter discusses the issue of talent selling out and making deals with major labels, despite the low streaming payouts. There is a concern that everyone in the creative industry will eventually sell out, while the founders of tech companies like Steve Jobs and Mark Zuckerberg have protections against being squeezed out. The speakers express their desire to partner with other entrepreneurs and fight against selling out, but admit that many people are going for the big check instead.
