I dont think the problem is explicitly acquiring currency from your media, but the means and methods by which the art is used to acquire currency. It's accepting money from apparatuses that are explicitly more concerned with profit than promoting the art itself that's the problem. That's not really cool and helps to facilitate things like cultural appropriation and the general decline in quality trying to gain a mass audience [see: current state of popular cinema in america, dubstep turning into brostep, low lyricism in popular rap, etc]. I agree with this view based on personal life experiences.
