    It takes me months to write lyrics, months to make the musical elements, I work and put my own money into recording, mixing, and mastering. If I’m lucky, I will get a show and perform in front of 50, 100, maybe more. Is it worth it, after seeing this? Hell, yes! Why? Because, I have a passion for music. The Music is the pay off. This guy is getting millions but you can’t buy the satisfaction of creating good art. Art transcends money. Look at these monumental museums. In them is not bank statements, duffel bags, or any of the like. Art by human’s experiencing the finite human condition and experience will always resonate in the most important aspect.

    Oof.

They also wreck algorithmic growth. If it was as easy as downloading a bot then all the artists and labels relying on them would actually be doing well, not pretending like they’re doing well
