- pc86 3y ago"Niche artists" sounds like another way to say "artists nobody listens to" so it seems like a bad business decision to try to create a model that would funnel money their way, doesn't it?
- chrisco255 3y agoNo, they should be paid proportional to their listeners. As it is, it's the popular artists being subsidized by the niche music fans. Niche music should get the niche music fan revenue. Very simple concept. If there are 1M niche genre music fans and they're spending 100% of their time listening to that genre, their money should go to that genre, not siphon it off to popular artists. Otherwise we get no new genres, no innovation, aand fewer up and coming artists.
