OHHHHHHHHHHH IIIIIII FORGOT WHAT WE WERE TALKING ABOUT

Its not all about distribution, its comments like this FROM AN AWARD WINNING LEGEND OF MUSIC.

SO now you want to go back to the original article, because you lost

Pre-pandemic, performing artists could count on income sources like concerts and merchandise, but "most professional songwriters are just that" -- songwriters, he said.

or

Right now, "80 percent goes to the Drakes, the Swifts. The niche jazz artist gets almost nothing, if anything," Ulvaeus told AFP.

"But the niche jazz artist might have 10,000 people out there who love him or her -- and if all that money went to him, he could make a living out of that."

or

Ulvaeus laments that today's songwriters must navigate a system that forces their focus towards charts and entrepreneurialism: "I have a feeling that many songwriters have to part with their song too early."

In winning the Eurovision song contest with "Waterloo" in 1974, the musician says he and Andersson also won "artistic freedom."

"We learned to recognize garbage, and we learned to recognize when we had something really good," he said. "That takes time and hard work and patience. And how can you have patience if you have people breathing down your neck?"

"Money gives you that time."

or Basicly confirms my whole argument

"People are going to write songs. But why not treat them fairly?" he said.

Get to work on your songs, its easy to have no vested interest, or even interest in writing, and sit back and make fun of somebody trying to start a music discussion. And give smug sarcastic replies. As if you have any fuggin idea about anything or what the fight is about.
