The service that only has half the bangers you wanna listen to, while paying the artists so little for you listening, you might as well pirate their songs? Yeah, me neither.
seriously tho, the fact that modern groups mainly profit from merch, rather than from the actual main product of their artistic efforts will never stop being a tragedy in my book.
this has been going on since Elvis his times, to them the Elvis / Colonel story was just a good lesson: Get them started with a debt, have them very eager to sign and work them to death doing live shows.
It still works, just look at what they did to Michael Jackson.

artists really need to get their money from concerts anyway.
thats why i always bootleg their live performances too, to support them.
