Why are so many artists struggling in a booming music industry? Over 600 million people globally have streaming subscriptions, with most of them paying about 12 bucks a month. And for musicians, it’s never been easier to release work into the world. But ease of access doesn’t mean things are becoming more fair. Streaming services like Spotify have so much power and influence. With a whole new world of corporate middlemen, an already highly consolidated industry has only become even more consolidated. Music today is a winner-takes-all economy. And the biggest winners of all aren’t even musicians. #workersrights #corporategreed #spotify
