lol stop lyin jimmy
The industry went from bootleggers dominating their shyt to millions of people actually paying for music again.
The young generation only knows Apple music, tidal and spotify
when bootlegging was at his its high, artist were getting multi million dollar budgets, rappers were selling 10 million albums
eminem was the most bootlegged album and he still sold the most
the real reason music isn't selling is because for one it is trash, and for two streaming is a terrible business model and has devalued the music
before buying an album was like buying a piece of art, it was something to collect, streaming is just to easy and accessible, it devalues the product
streaming is better for the artist, only because they were getting fukked by the label, but as a music company streaming eliminates their purpose to be honest, artist don't need distribution which they controlled with an iron fist.
There's literally no reason for anyone to sign to a record label who has a legit following, thats how you know all these artist are plants anyway
nobody is going to go from being successful doing it on their own to signing to someone in this day and age, it makes zero sense.
Artist like Kodak Black can get endorsements because his label is apart of the conglomerate and they just look at as cross collateralization
like the the jew said, streaming is just a tool to sell physical items like phones and tablets lmao
you're not gonna make bank off of views or plays unless you have high hundreds of millions, thats just a fact
the old ways of royalties still pay more,
its all the fact rich youtubers, nobody getting rich of doing youtube, those people were already well off or are fronting by renting cars and homes to shoot it in to appear successful, most of the views on youtube videos are generated by robots anyway, if Justin Bieber was doing it lmao who ain't, be serious man
The Music Industry is nowhere near as big or profitable as it once was
