ReplyStreaming is here to stay. Any artist moaning because they can’t monetize themselves in some particular way that no longer exists would probably squander those old bygone opportunities as well. Streaming has helped way more artists than hurt.
ReplyThey were not getting what they deserved with the record labels either..
ReplyI use Apple Music which does one whole penny per stream
Replypiracy and the middle man is the same. Everybody watch your wallet
ReplyNeat
ReplyI knew they weren’t getting what they deserved, but they are actually getting robbed….there should be a law or laws against this… they should get paid all there money, minus on line distribution and advertisement.
ReplyArtists are ultimately workers for these companies and these workers have ALWAYS been very underpaid, this is not new.
People feel like being an artist is okay because they are doing what they love meanwhile doing what they love is getting them fu*ked over just like almost every other job. Most companies don’t pay their employees what they easily could pay them. They don’t value the workers, they value what the workers make them.
ReplyI think Livestream music is great, I can’t do without my music everyday. I do listen to music on YouTube and my radio.
ReplyI do own CD’s
ReplyLabels especially major ones control the music industry. Labels pay radio stations to stream music and pay streaming platforms to put music on offical playlists to create better exposure. That’s why most of the mainstream songs you hear are on repeat every 6 minutes and it gets extremely irritating. And worst of all, the ones who suffer are artists who are unable to afford such manipulative tactics or aren’t established enough in the industry. In this pandemic, they have it even worse because they aren’t making money off the streaming and can’t do live performances. Even platforms like Tiktok aren’t safe from such manipulation.
ReplyHurting is helping, it assists evolution
The question is whether the introduction of streaming is forcing musicians to be more or less selfish, more or less female
The answer is less female, and more male, because it is turning musicians into providers who are feeding the streaming platforms
So they end up less wealthy, maybe, but also less selfish
ReplyTell me I’m not the only one who thinks the artists need to receive the majority of the revenue that comes in from this. I mean if _they_ don’t get the majority of the revenue, making music will stop being their main focus. They will turn their focus to _other_ pursuits.
ReplyImagine a world with no music.
Streaming next best thing too being live. Lower the show price and included the musicians.
ReplyWhat they should do right while streaming is both a blessing and a curse to change it from being a curse why don’t they just regulate it so that artistes get at least 25% of the cut. In my opinion should be 50% because I mean if they wrote the song and the label just promoted it, it should be 50/50
ReplyWe have to boycott streaming until they listen smfh
ReplyI know wake me up. So I do know aloe blacc I just didn’t know it was him who sang it but I’ve heard the song
