Cole made you feel empowered… but he is not your savior

Artists made more money in the peak of piracy than now.

If you have above surface level knowledge of the industry you should know what even is

Dont think thats necessarily true tbh. Artists were getting shafted by the label regarding physical sales too. The overarching issue with the music industry isnt consumption its predatory label arrangements

Any time they start talking like this I be out

If people pay for this then they are truly idiots.

Even is now Bandcamp for Major Labels I guess

So it’s like onlyfans for artists?

Yall eat anything this labels feed yall when they don’t give af about yall or the artist

Saw the writing on the wall with Spotify wrapped but it’s kinda crazy it took this long to monetize stanning in this way

I swear people completely forget that the entire industry was on life support because of piracy before streaming came about.

just gonna be folks in public randomly sleep with a opened box in front of them

Which of those artists are indie

Most annoying poster right now

I agree with this . Much of the music I listen to on streaming is more to be included in the conversation and discussion . On some artist though I think only those willing to purchase should be included in discussion . I think it’s an issue that cost of living going so high people can justify streaming cost for amount of content vs one new album a month . Even if we truly only love one Album a month

There are worse users who get blocked and beg for attention to argue with them

I don't understand this enough to have a strong opinion on it but my gut feeling is this is a bad thing for independent artists. I hope this leads to a return to mixtapes though

If streaming goes away people will just pirate music again. A lot of you guys forget Napster and Limewire lol. People were not just buying music before streaming services became a thing.

peter thiels satanic plan is to make us all barbz

Okay so hey guys, lots of chatter. What is this exactly?? I don't want to be forcibly Barb-ed or Swiftied, is that what this is?

People do see streaming as cheaper when really it’s much more expensive and you own nothing.
