    Damn and to think all you need to do is debase yourself, foment para-social relationships with your “fans” and give ~30% of your revenue to a third-party, and finally you can join the passive income scheme which of course is the reason you needed to the above to live anyway. The system works!

      I don’t know that I’d call it a passive income stream. Passive income is what capitalists call owning profitable property.

      They were plenty active while making the product. Is an author receiving passive income from book sales? Or just getting sales from their writing?

        The passive income is what the article is talking about, i.e. “Property.” The OF contractors that are making 250k/mo aren’t buying properties to live in, they are buying investment properties. The initial work is fine.
