Artists need to own their distribution channels. With today's technology it's pretty easy! They also need to do marketing.

The problem is that if you own your distribution channels you need a massive marketing budget to stand out from the other offerings as you are competing with other distributors instead of getting help from them.

Absolutely and you need massive manpower to be good at all media and distribution channels.
