• I used to play for 200 people and now I'm selling out places that hold 16,000 people. It's a big change, and it's so cool to see people out there screaming the words to songs that I wrote.

Through this system, consumers can convey to producers their subjective priorities and entrepreneurs can invest accordingly.
