To be clear, I'm not trying to argue against artists getting paid. I just think folk-tales transcend that, you know? I've added to my main post to explain myself a bit better.
That's what I'm getting at. The old tales are obviously still available, but it feels like there's certainly more recent things that could qualify and I can't think of anything specifically. Maybe it's just recency that makes them feel less "classical". I dunno.

His behavior simple - he bullies and insults people he thinks are weaker or that he can dominate (see: any US ally), and he sucks up to and praises people that intimidate him or, at the very least, he feels kinship with (see: Putin, Xi, etc.). What's he doing here? Praising him and making excuses for him. Ipso flipso...

While I don't doubt that there's a market there, I would never in a million years pay money for a "power user"'s reddit posts. Fucking wild.
