Comment on Music artist: "Why I prefer piracy to Spotify"

Comments

Artist royalties have gone from dollars (physical albums), to dimes (digital singles), to fractions of pennies (streaming). Once you can track how much it actually gets used, it becomes readily apparent just how overvalued it's been.

See the progression in advertising from print and broadcast to adsense.

Correlation does not imply causation.

Also the idea that listening to a song once is worth fractions of a penny is really stupid further making your 'revelation' totally fatuous.
