Good article. Some truth to it. I remember the Beatles were mad cuz they got exploited by managers and only got like 1% of profits from what they put out, and then govt taxed them 95% on that. But still got rich because when others can profit off you they will help spread the word about your music. Now it's hard for anyone to profit off you. So no one bothers promoting. There's good rock music out there being put out by guys that have to have day jobs washing dishes. That sucks for them. I play bass but not as a job just for fun. I make a few hundred a month from gigs, can't live off that. Just no money in music anymore but I think it's always been like that with a few outliers. For every hit rock band there were 100s of poor struggling musicians. Rick beato is one, never hit it big, probably not getting rich off youtube. Probably doing alright, middle class level, nothing crazy. Makes music videos cuz he loves music. Glad he does. I forgot what my point was. Yeah rock got destroyed by corporate greed. Part of capitalism. But socialism in USSR banned rock and roll so that's no good either. Just make music for the love of it, highly unlikely to make much money.
