The technology of recording itself is a lot to blame for the near total loss of the creator economy. For example when you make music you are competing with every song ever recorded in the 20th century. Creators are being destroyed by the wealth of available content. Why should someone listen to my music even if its extremely creative when they have the entire cannon of Duke Ellington available for free from their $9.95 per month?

Only the very best of the past has even chance to be heard.

If anything, modern music is more spread out than ever allowing more subcultures to have their favorite music niche, something that wasn't possible in the sixties.
