The musicians already know this. It's the vampiric middlemen who need to make money from the recordings. Outside of some foolish artists, the publishing houses don't get a cut of ticket and merch sales.

Yea access to millions of users (Spotify) takes a lot of effort to build.
I am against middlemen but people get so emotionally charged that they don't understand that middlemen exists for reasons: 1) They are grandfathered into the system with laws 2) They provide value. I am against the former.
Spotify got rid of all the record label nonsense and they directly allow you to publish your music and broadcast it to millions of people.
If anything else, we need to get rid of the TicketMaster mafia that's running the show - literally and metaphorically.
