Of course a celebrated artist with a 50+ year career that is a national icon won’t be reliant on digital distribution…

I think that would be obvious to anyone that wants to have a conversation in good faith.



I read you comment, looked at what spotify was playing on my speakers and posted that comment because you said 'every'. I really have no idea who that artist was or even what language that is.

Your comment wouldn't have been worthy of a response if you had said 'small artists'. Because thats well known problem with all streaming platforms and not just music.

Now looks like you are not even saying 'small artists' . It only applies arists who are not 'well known' ? No idea what you are even trying to say. Maybe use some precision ?


I would suggest you educate yourself a little bit about the culture you consume. The artist you chose is extremely well known and about 85 years old so I can’t take your example serious.

Of course I can’t give an extremely precise category of artist that is better paid directly than through Spotify - but everyone reading that argument in good faith knows what is meant.

You just choose to read it in the most unfavourable way imaginable.
