And everyone blames spotify for this and uses metrics about how much per listen they pay and forgetting we used to listen to songs thousands of times on CDs we paid $10 for.
Artists make close to nothing on spotify, but they also made jack all before spotify. Most of the money you pay goes to labels.
Going to a show is a lot closer to putting money in an artist’s pocket, that’s how they make most of their money.
I worked for a few labels back in the day. Bands could make money depending on if they’re discerning with who they signed with. Some indie labels split profits down the middle after costs are recouped
Problem is each and every revenue stream is a fraction of what it used to be
