Honestly though.
Musicians, ever since 2000: New business models are unsustainable. We are dying. This market is rigged against us. Help!
Everybody else: Dramatic, aren't we? Get a job.
Everybody in "gig economy" in 2019: This is murderous. Help!!
Musicians: 
What drives this imbalance is envy. It is human envy that adds fuel to the machine. It is human envy that helps the overlords keep everybody in spiritual slavery. Because, what's wrong with being free and dignified and doing what you love for a living? How is it a crime?
