Composers didn&#x27;t stop writing music when the concept of a noble benefactor died: the business model changed. Architects didn&#x27;t stop building beautiful buildings because religions couldn&#x27;t afford giant churches and kings stopped building palaces. Movies will continue to be made if Hollywood dies, and if history is any indicator, the art form will develop more rapidly once it&#x27;s no longer hampered by outdated business models.
