But is that reasonable? Shouldn’t the musicians be the ones how decide how much they want for their music?
What if you can’t put on concerts, like it’s the case right now, do your work then become worthless?
Honestly I think the issue is the record labels. The need to seriously reduce their cut and let the musicians keep the bulk of the royalties.
It’s a little concerning that a Youtube channel with maybe 500 - 1000 Patreon supports and few ads can be a living, but musicians need to tour, to make a profit. That seems to indicate, to me at least, that Youtube may not be the problem.
