Oriphiel, there are right things which you are telling, and it is good to think about independence of music as a condition to exist. Of course, if we talk about microphone and internet musical space, we would choose to write mostly electronic music which wouldn't depend on life performers and the costs which would go with it, because even if we want just to record professional musicians in the studio, it costs lots of money to bring this performers, to make rehearsals and to pay fees... Also we exclude big projects which would be equivalent of opera or symphony in classical music.
Fanbase is something what is quite necessary for crowdfunding to work at all. If composer has just few friends and thinks that "goverment should support him" - we know very well from music school what was the life of Franz Schubert.
Of course, we speak about music as a passion - strong passion.
