Do you think the creator should work for free and get no benefit? Oftentimes what happens is the creator sells the product or idea for a quick payout and then the company that bought the idea or the product will get the opportunity to make a profit off of the "loan" they made to the creator. The company that buys an idea or a product has a much greater ability to market and develop so there is additional benefit as well.
But no capitalism bad.
I think a more useful societal structure would alleviate the pressure of this question of whether someone needs to “work for free.” When a lot of basic needs are already met, the incentives change.
But no, questioning status quo bad.
