Killing Spotify would be terrible.

New musicians want their work out there....without Spotify(or similar) it will be back to just blasting out your music for free online everywhere so you can get bug.

Spotify at least gives them some revenue while they increase their fandom.

I mean....radio was never a money maker for acts. It was to get their name out their to make money elsewhere.

Just kinda how the market is setup. I don't think it is unsustainable for artists.

I fucking hate "exposure", but that is literally what radio/streaming is is.

It is never a substantial revenue stream until you hit big.

And with today's tech, radio had to become streaming.

Paying a penny per stream is highly unsustainable for everyone.

What would you suggest to fix it?

I think the system is pretty decent all things considered. Now, Spotify could definitely be better at hyping and pushing new music/low creators....but other than that I don't think they're the enemy here.
