It’s easier than ever to make music and sell it on Spotify or elsewhere (especially without a label), which is a double edged sword: an artist is competing against everyone else who joined the talent pool.
- klodolph 3y agoYeah—it’s also easier than ever to write an article and post it online, which is also a double-edged sword: journalists are competing against everyone else who joined the talent pool. Good reporting is basically dead compared to the 1990s, and professional musicians are getting squeezed out.
- jwagenet 3y agoThe majority of the recorded music revenue pie appears to go to a small group at the top of the pops, and I don’t think that has changed since the 90s. Perhaps the scraps are being fought over by a larger pool, but the demand for alternative music has never been higher, likely increasing the pie. Demand for good reporting seems to be non existent in comparison.
