The pay-to-play model encourages homogenization by creating an environment where the only art worth creating is art that is marketable to those with the fattest wallets; Typically the WORST people to be pushing the direction of art, in my experience. Artists stop creating, and begin manufacturing "commodities" to be sold to "consumers". Free art (regardless of medium) is the only art worth anything at all. Everything else has been tainted by profit motive. I’m of the opinion that if an artist is making their art to make money, they’re in it for the wrong reason.
