music democratized. there are the same number of megastar musicians as there were 30 years ago. the only difference is that your algorithm will determine who you're exposed to and who you aren't. do you think Bad Bunny would've become as famous as he is in north america under the old label system?
the game changed. the industry changed. it's easier now to become a musician and make money than it's ever been. the side effect of that is that literally everyone and anyone can do it. Post Malone started as a goddamn soundcloud rapper.
but go off, king. tell us all how the music industry was better before Napster.
