Forget hustle culture. Behold the Artist Corporation | Yancey Strickler

In this TED Talk Daily episode, host Elise Hu introduces Yancey Strickler, former CEO of Kickstarter, who discusses the challenges faced by creative people in the current economic landscape, dominated by streaming platforms, corporate gatekeepers, and AI. Strickler proposes a new legal structure called the Artist Corporation (A Corp) to empower artists by giving them economic and organizational power on their own terms. He argues that this structure would allow artists to collectively own their intellectual property, manage their finances, and access benefits, ultimately leading to a revolution in how creative industries operate and fostering a world where artists have more control and benefit from their work.
