Not necessarily the music industry.
Bands have always fallen away after promising starts or a short spell of fame. Not exactly a household name are they? |  | |  |

The point they make in their statement that the article is based on is that this is entirely down to streaming.
They used to make enough from gigs and CD sales, but now CD sales have completely dried up, and playing as a Doors tribute band pays the bills. | | | |

That is absolutely correct. Spotify et al pay an utter pittance to people who used to be able to sell cds and make a living. Millions of plays needed. | | | |

That having been said, Spotify and the like give a self-publishing platform to groups/artists who might previously have never got record contracts or been promoted adequately to get noticed, played on the radio and into the charts. |  |

This is also true, but ironically, Spotify's own algorithms are designed to serve up songs that are already being highly streamed. You can't get on the stations or Spotify playlists if you don't have many streams, so it makes it virtually impossible to use the platform to gain a wider audience.
They are also creating their own AI- generated music to fill their playlists which means they pay out less royalties.
If you want a streaming platform as an unknown or new artist, then Pandora is best, as it gives you ample opportunity to promote your own songs and get them out there. Spotify is the pits for songwriters and artists. |  | | |

We put Filed Music on in The Baths, Jan 2022 to about 200 people, they were such great people. Incredible band, super talented, radio play (6 music mostly) and critically acclaimed. They also work as guitar teachers and with young kids in the area getting them into music. It's tough out there for artists and grass roots venues while arenas and majority of major artists don't contribute anything back into the ecosystem which helped grow them. Imagine the premier league not investing in grass roots football....it doesn't happen in the music industry. I'm saddened but not surprised. | | | |

Its not that hard to produce one's own cd.
The problem is that professional experienced artists have lost their main income stream completely. Millions of plays making them a few hundred quid. | | | |
