Amps i don’t disagree with the sentiment, but there’s no way that any significant number of people are willing to do that. at least not enough to change the way the system works. i’m also aware that apathetic view is part of the problem, i just have no faith in people voting with their wallets.
the biggest issue for new artists, as i see it, is still the gate keeper system. i’m constantly submitting music to people with zero credentials in an effort to get exposure. it’s an absolute grind when a&r has been replaced with bloggers and playlist curators.
