Exactly.

And you have also said things in other threads that seems to indicate that you see producing art like a good book just like effort and time spent.
Sorry, but this just isn't true.

I'm going to use art, another form of culture, as an example (that's what I studied in college.) Most of our most celebrated artists did not just paint and give their work away. Michelangelo was commissioned (PAID) to paint the Sistine Chapel. He didn't simply donate his time and starve because he was creating "culture."

And if I remember correctly, Charles Dickens published several of his novels as "serials" in newspapers, so he could get paid by the chapter.
