Artistic Value And Spotify’s Devaluing Of Music

How are streaming services impacting the way art is being created? Are they creating a world where people more concerned with quantity than quality? And what about Spotify's paltry .003 cent pay-out per stream. Is that impacting the way music is being made? Today on the Spiritual Spiral Podcast, I felt compelled to talk about why I've decided to create a Patreon subscription and community for my podcast and other creative endeavors. I certainly see the inherent value of Netflix for consumers, but how are streaming services impacting the way art is being created? Is the craft of artistry gone or not respected anymore and do artists's understand their true value ? I read an excerpt from a fantastic article called Why We Should Stop Reading The News (And Leave Social Media)  and I also talk about a recent article where Daniel Ek, the CEO of Spotify, talks about the new trajectory he sees as a successful path for musicians. Daniel believes artists must release music much more rapidly and spend more time on social media communicating with their fans. To listen to the full episode, please visit www.patreon.com/eddiecohn where you can subscribe, listen to the episode in its entirety and also receive exclusive content.
