    Free is literally why they have the market they have. Completely silly point.

    You can’t assume the price point changes and the market remains the same as well. It’s more complicated than that. We literally have talks of people leaving Netflix every other week from the constant changes being made this year.

      Yes, and they don’t deserve a market if they can’t pay artists to make the content. They should not exist if they can’t do that.

        That just leaves us nowhere to go though. We know artists aren’t paid enough, but if our only answer is the one that clearly takes them out of business, then it’s just sitting on a soapbox while another company comes in and does the same thing.

        Either the solution has to be feasible or someone will eventually show up to ignore it.

        To reemphasize, this is regarding “they have the market because they’re free”, it’s not regarding something else like just paying the artists more, or getting a better deal with labels.

          You can buy music. You can use subscription services that are less shit to artists.

            I do buy music.

            I know most people don’t and won’t though.

            You can’t make a solution that ignores evil and apathetic exists.
