The Streaming Battlefield: How Mary Spender's Problem Affects us All – Episode 3
Description
The following video's subject matter was inspired by Mary Spender – who has recently shined a big light on the topic of making income from music in the age of streaming.
Music streaming is not inherently good or bad unto itself, but it has become a standard for music-listening in a way that has changed our relationship with music. In short: it's overly convenient, transient, and makes it easy to devalue the hard work an artist has put forth (despite the positive reality that it's made it easier for lesser-known artists to get their music out there in the world). Not to mention its revenue model for artists is arguably awful compared to the potential salary they could have made prior to streaming (this is also debatable). But does this make it a less viable solution OR is there now simply a great opportunity to utilize (and monetize) it in creative ways, going forward? Watch as Mike and Jeramy dig hard into this topic with a steel shovel.
