I'm seeing this post 3 times in my feed.

I can see the music industry has changed a lot even though I've never been part of it. The most money I made from music was on Hive plus a few sales on Bandcamp. It seems like Spotify has been gamed by AI crap and fake listeners. I really feel for those who want to make a career in music now. If you are not a top artist it looks like you can't make much. I think it's still the case that you need some dedicated fans who will buy everything you do as casual listeners don't want to pay.

I still have hopes that Hive can play a part. Obviously the low price does not help, but if we can get artists here and fans power up to increase their vote then it could improve.
