Not that similar though.

What you're talking about is paying people to produce 'art' by the unit.

This scheme is about paying credentialed artists so they can breath a little bit. No need to supply slop.

Yes, there are differences.

BTW credentialism - good or bad? It certainly seems to me that the idea of credentials has crept from medicine, law and engineering into formerly freer and more bohemian territories. An idea of a perepiska for singers or actors would be considered absurd by most people in history. But once money transfers are in place, bureaucracy inevitably follows.
