Yes, unknown artists can't, but the point is that they are going 3 months without income. There have been many local one-hit-wonders in my country, make a decent album with one or two 'hit' singles, and never get enough money to stay afloat. Hence the one-hit-wonder bit. If it took me 6 months of no income to produce an album, then as I release it I go 3 months with no income (assuming that Apple is the only streaming service, and that people choose to stream instead of buy). By the time the 3 months are over, people have moved on to something else. This hurts me as I don't recover my expenses. Taylor mentioned that she can support herself, team, etc. The unknown mostly can't, so the trial hurts them.
