Capitalism is doing capitalism things, weird
It's a feature not a bug
Albums and singles make next to no money for the majority of musicians.
The only way to make money through music nowadays is touring and merchandise.
Yeah, poor Taylor swift :'(
I don't think it's the normal artist we are taking about here. We are talking about concerts going for a thousand bucks.
Concerts were cheap for decades because they were used to sell albums.
Normal artists van no longer sell albums so there is no subsidization.
Normal artists can't fill stadiums.
Only expensive, high end artists remain.
