People already can (and, sometimes, do) just put their work on their own websites and have people pay them directly. I've bought such media myself. As it turns out, though...platforms provide useful services to creators. That is why many creators choose to go to them. No one is forcing them to; they are doing it voluntarily. Do you think they're all just too stupid to just know that your way is better? Do they not know they can sell their work direct to consumers? Something else?
