direct to consumer is NOT the solution..

I'm a little late on talking about this but I've finally gotten a chance to watch Daniel Ek, current CEO of Spotify, talk about the payments made to artists. Specific mentions were made about how much was paid to independent artists in 2023 along with an "interesting" comparison of musicians to soccer platers. #IHaveThoughts
