Commerical
Previously, commerce was the centre of our world and the role of the artist was demoted to the fringes of attention.

When your tribe grows to sufficient size some tribe members may want to buy your art.
Now, in this framework, commerce remains important and its no longer your first intention.

In one of his earlier books, Tribes, Seth Godin spoke about the need for leadership as a new form of marketing.
