I think it is sustainable if we can cut out the middle man, the royalties go mainly to labels and less so to artists. E.g. if an artist doesnt use a label on Spotify im sure his revenue will be higher and the current price would be sustainable. I think the royalties that go to labels are unsustainable
- shados 6y agoDoesn't services like Spotify make that easier? AFAIK while you need a distributor and can't just upload your stuff like you can on Youtube, there's a bunch of them that seem to give the artists everything. If the artist choose to go with a label that takes their royalties, that's on them. If they do it because they want the visibility and services, that has a cost. Music is a field where a lot of people do it just for fun, and it's quite saturated. Supply (as in diversity of products) way outweigh demand.
- RHSman2 6y agoI would just like to know why there is a need for a distributor in Indie Spotify artists? Its an agent. This agent doesn’t do anything. I make music, I own all rights, I upload to streaming service, I should get all cut from streaming service. What does said agent do?
