It's sad to admit but there are enough musicians in the world. The reason wages for musicians is so low is that there are already countless professional musicians making music in every style.
- swiley 6y agoMaybe, but I think it could be better if Spotify paid artists per listen instead of just paying them for being popular. Also Spotify is definitely missing a lot of obscure music and there definitely aren’t enough live musicians. Otherwise I could afford to have a good band play live in my living room every Sunday morning.
- ipnon 6y agoYes, I don't think Spotify is the optimal conclusion of the music industry.
- Kalq 6y agoMusicians might be the most saturated field but I think this is true for most things. How many millions of artists or photographers put out their art for piddling views and even less money. Even genuinely amazing artists can be absolutely unheard of. Authors also fall into this category.

Or just have one of those gifts, but in spades. It seems like there's a lot more mediocre talent now, since we've evolved to devalue beauty.
