Musicians in general have a hard time finding places to play for free, even less actually pay them. SoundCloud illustrates the issue nicely. There's tons of music, but most of it isn't stuff you really want to listen to, let alone pay for.

Fuck the little guy! All power to those who are already making a good income!

Lets give every average musician $100,000 then. How is that going to work?

Why does the little people trying to make a living make you so angry?

You need to consider who you're talking to here. You can't just look on your sheet and find the first insult that's approved by the CCP.

That's not an insult, you just used an insult. That's an observation of behavior observed over a period of time. Always against the little guy.

My observation over the long period is you're a CCP shill.

You didn't actually counter the observation or offer any counter-argument.

Shit, better take some points off my debate score.

It's just one of those things Chippy, ever since the advent of recordings the value of regular musicians has plummeted. Especially now with streaming, where you listen not only to only the best music ever produced by the most talented artists, you don't even have to own it.

Can debate why that's unfair or why that shouldn't be, but it's pointless. Tell me how we're supposed to change it. Mandate every McDonald's must have a live show every night?
