I mean, they're getting fucked because people refuse to pay for music No one is actually stopping them from directly appealing to the fans "Hey just pay us instead of supporting this parasitic middleman" Except that it wouldn't fucking work

no, many ARE being stopped from selling directly to the fans, thanks to their shitty contracts from the publishers. they are first exploited by the record companies, and then again exploited by spotify.

many artists already have you stupid dipshit! though many can't, being locked into shitty contracts with the publishers! the publishers are fine with it, though, as they, and spotify, are the real beneficiaries here!

The publishers aren't fine with it, the publishers are weak and getting fucked over and are "dying old media dinosaurs" while Spotify and their ilk are extremely powerful
