Second, people will consume and like and pay for what’s available to them. If their government decides that an entity like Spotify disadvantages their local artists they can simply add legislation to fix that.
I really don’t like the idea that artists should just give up because some SV types just rendered them useless. Artists are like a glue to the fabric of community, it’ll be a huge loss to have everyone doing stem instead.
With the fragmentation of media in society today, artists aren’t bringing any “community” together.
So now you’re saying the government should come in and save certain types of music? What pray tell do you want the government to do against Spotify?
And how would the government feel today if Spotify top song were NWA’s “Fuck the Police” or Ice T’s “Cop Killer”? would they support those artists?
How are you so sure that some ppl are "meant" to be something. What does this even mean.
What are you meant to be and how do you know?
There are some jobs that people don’t have a choice but to work. Being an artist isn’t one of them.
