It's way more fucked than that. I play in a "successful" band 17 years in and it's still brutal to not lose your shirt doing ANYTHING. Labels dont pay, streaming doesnt do shit, physical sales have plummeted, cost of production and recording is way up, touring hemorages...

It depends on the scale of expectation of the artist. My friends making a living in bands usually only tour 5 or 6 weekends a year. They sell vinyl, make and sell t-shirts, & keep a dialogue with their small but loyal fan base.

I need you to define "making a living in bands", so that's their only job?

Bring back anti-trust suits. This isn't a socialist thing to say, it's anti-corporatism and pro-free market.
