If you never pay for music, artists won’t be able to make new music
is fundamentally flawed. Nearly all artists don’t make more than pocket change at best.
Even if we were to abolish all copyright tomorrow and no one would every pay for art again, art would still exist and be published. Because as it turns out, people enjoy making art.
That’s not to say they shouldn’t be paid. Of course people should make a living by selling art. But OP saying art will cease to exist if there is no money is completely wrong.
Open https://bandcamp.com/discover?s=rand and check how many albums have sold more than 5 copies.
How are those artists able to make music without making money? Because according to you, they can’t.

Hobbyists have bills to pay, too.

The use of “real jobs” already tells me that you don’t respect artists, which is likely the real reason why you don’t want to pay them.
That’s what I’m saying.

Because with your logic they’d make nothing.
Never heard of passion projects?
