I know your new message board will be top notch. -
I see people with a million plays saying they get next to nothing off of them. The internet has in one way destroyed the gate keeping of the record industry and has allowed so many people to reach audiences, but we sort of needed that gatekeeping too. I want to say it is like college sports, the money makers subsidized a ton a great jazz artists and other fringe genres. Most musicians now are relegated to playing for their supper so to speak. Which, historically that is what it always was. I mean, you had patrons, you had the church and with paper and ink you had the start of publishing. Audio recording technology spawned a bubble in time where they could get obscenely wealthy off publishing royalties and to a degree, album sales. It is going back to the old way it seems. But now, there are fewer and fewer musicians who can play an instrument and get a track down live in one take. It’s all synthetic. Boo.
