- Alupis 1y agoPeople often mistakenly believe artists could/should be paid significantly more per listen, ignoring the huge costs of streaming distribution as well as the global scale/reach/discovery these platforms offer smaller and indie artists. People don't buy music anymore, outside of a few niche environments. In the day of at-home music production, music has become a commodity. The few artists that do "make it big" are rewarded appropriately.
