Do you think streaming services like Spotify and Apple Music are bad for the music industry?
Would you pay more to support your favorite artists?
I can't afford to buy a CD every time one of my favorite artists releases an album
I totally think they should be paid way more because if they get paid less that may mean being a musician or music artist will be a bad job
BryanStars idk how I feel about this
Yeah but apart from listening from Spotify I buy the album to support the band/artist
they should make more, I feel like maybe I would, Music Gives me life
This is why I buy CDs
Kenny Ruiz yessssss CDS ARE LIT
Vinyl and CDs lit
I still buy records just to support the artist, I only stream music when I’m at my computer, and whenever I’m away from my computer and listen to the album I bought off my iTunes so it goes hand in hand. If you like the artist do both
People don't buy music anymore? I think you're wrong.. In the newspapers you can see pretty often that people are crazy about vinyls and the records are break all the time.
Kodi the same people buying newspapers in 2018 are the same people exited about vinyls in 2018
I buy my songs with my iPod. It feels good to actually having songs 24/7 forever. Plus I really want to support my favorite artists because it does feel like bands don’t make a lot of money nowadays.
I love CDs but I don't always have money to buy them so I use Spotify until I can.
My policy is that if I️ love a band or a song a lot, I️ will buy it on iTunes. I️ know that the artists don’t get paid from the services, so I want to give them money for their amazing content.
I still buy albums bc of this exact problem
I would definitely pay a few more bucks for the bands I love. After all, tours and the other things needed are very expensive. I still use Spotify even though I am more of a CD person
Yes. Streaming services are KINDA ruining music industry. It is ofc nice to easily listen to music where ever you want, BUT, the thing that pisses me off is that people are not buying their favourite bands/artists albums or singles. So I think people are here to blame, not streaming services. Things would suck without Spotify, but people please, support your favourite artists and bands by buying the physical copies of their albums, or even digital albums. I still to this day buy singles and albums from my favourite bands, and also listen to music from Spotify.
I buy physical CDs to listen to in my truck while I’m driving. I also collect physical vinyls. While I’m mowing, working, or just sitting around I use Spotify and pay the $10.00 a month.
I think it is. A lot of stuff killed CD Sells. I remember when CDs reached the height of sells. The record stores was selling like crazy. Everybody was buying CDs replacing their favorite vinyl records with the newly remastered CDs. Trying to copy vinyl onto cassettes you couldn't get a whole lot of quality. I think with digital downloads, illegal copying, UA-cam, and all this other online music it's done a lot of damage to the music industry.
I prefer CD's cause what you gonna do when your phone or device dies?
PierceTheChemicalCryBabys 89 portable charger duhhh. What you gonna do if you don’t have a CD player ??
i would pay more to help my favorite bands
That’s a good question
It kind of is but kind of isn’t
What I usually do when an album comes out I get it on Spotify and buy a physical copy of it
Spotify now bought out Huluplus, so maybe that will make things better.
what?? people dont use napster anymore?
I think they should enter a function that once you've listened to a song more often than 5 times you still have to pay extra the song. I mean. Spotify is great to discover new stuff. But once a artist makes it into my personal rotation I want them to get a little more and that should be somehow automated.
We should buy music to support our fav artists/bands. It helps encourage them to continue to write new music because what’s the point of them writing music if they’re not getting any recognition for their art. Don’t we want to see our fav artists and bands succeed?
Even at a couple tenths of a penny I’ve personally listen to entire albums hundreds of times
518ashtray same here
If I love a band or song, I buy their song/album whatever. I'm all for free music, but I alway feel guilty if I use a UA-cam audio converter, like that one that got sued a few months back, because the artists I love suffer for it.
I buy CDs and Vinyls I don’t usually use Spotify but I do have it.
Lol I was listening to spodify when I saw this notification
Kiara Leary me too
I enjoy listening to spodify, but it sucks knowing that you're killing the bands you love.
It’s 2022 and we’re still waiting for you to be an adult and make an apology video and own up to your actions.
He never will
He now works at Walmart

when the first time i know spotify i was happy then i just be a free customers, but after few months i'm getting sick of all the ads so i join spotify premium it's $4 dollar per month. and then i saw this news of taylor swift hate or mad idk but basically like that to spotify for letting people streaming her songs for free from that moment i began to feeling so guilty "so all this time i haven't done anything for my fave bands? while they doing everything for me". but i rather spends more money on psychic cd than the digital album
I rather pay the prices for the cd/physical copies. I don't like digital. Only buy digital as a very last result and usually after searching for a long time for a physical cd n not finding it. I wont pay for something like spotify. I know cds won't b around for long but til they stop existing ill not buy digital.
Rock Chick hipster alert
(I personally think that it's great that you support the artists you love, I said it for the meme ok? #doitforthememe
Most times I buy the cd but some of my European metal bands only sell digital copies or stream on Spotify as they trying to build a fanbase :) my cd collection is my pride and joy
I know you probably know this but cds are digital, i think you mean flash memory
Me too.
Honestly I feel they deserve more money because when they don't get as much money I feel that results in the record label having less of a budget to create music and causes music to be cheaply made which I'm guessing is why rap is so popular because many of those beats are a dime a dozen to make
Definitely not, I'm still buying cds, going to concerts and buying merch. Let's be honest, most of the people who use apps like spotify are young and they simply don't have 20-25 dollars a month for something like that.
Majqq12 right I'm broke shordy
And what's with UA-cam?
I personally think Spotify is useless in my opinion I prefer listening to music on my music library
I still buy CDs to support my favourite bands, nothing beats going to HMV once a month to check out new releases :) But I also subscribe to Spotify as I can listen to songs on the go.
I also go to gigs and buy merch because touring and merch sales help the band even more than song sales nowadays :)
Hundreds of bands have already died off and it's not getting much better
This is good for artist where as it introduces there music to a wide audiance and they go on tour and charge outrageous prices for tickets
I use Spotify to discover new music and find out if I like certain albums or artists. If I like a particular album enough, then I'll try to buy it when I get the chance, just so I know that I'm supporting that artist.
In every free service, There's should be a limit to the number of times a song can be listen for free. Most of the songs produced these are almost forgettable after one two plays anyways. If there's music which connect to with the soul of the listener he/she would want that song to be a part of his life and wouldn't mind buying the record(either physical or digital) at a reasonable price . Also rather than releasing tons of mediocre albums it's better if only a handful of good albums are made and promoted to a wider audience.
I love getting physical copy but if a new album comes out I can't get it that day. I will use Spotify. Until I can get the album in my collection.
Ive been in bands for 25 years and i know a ton of musicians. Most of us only play covers at bars to make money and the bands im in which are original bands, arent even attempting to make money anymore. Its more that the hope to make anything with is just so low. Much lower than it used to be. Its like going and submitting yourself into an online digital beauty pageant lol
I dont like that all the label artist etc worked hard to get the band noticed and sell those just to get there name out but by doing tbat they may not get any out of it is crap they deserve more cause how time they work to put into those songs tours all that and making it where its free is bullshit I dont like using spotify or any of that I much prefer buying a CD or tbe album In any way I can to.help
Honestly, I'd quit Spotify, if they raised the price. Not because I'm not willing to pay for it,but because I simply cannot afford it. And I'm quite sure the same goes for a lot of people... Students just don't have the money to pay more. And that is at least half of the customers
I dont use it i still buy music from cds or iTunes
Yeh, its ruins the music industry financially but i hope for most bands its more about having music out there not money. To be honest im surprised if spotify etc will survive in the future anyway. Pandora a large streaming company shut down in AUS and NZ. As for streaming price i cant even afford the current 99c for 3months on spotify so its doesnt bother me. But if spotify were to not be free at all, or other music streaming companies then to be honest i wouldnt of survived life till now.
Now what do I do I was going to form a band a black metal band now just this just means that I am not going to make any money ...
being the fact that i use spotify just about everyday i would be willing to pay 20.00 bucks a month for it because i find it to be worth the money because i like having my mix playlists of everything under the sun of music that i have lol and i have a sh*t load of music on my account and i started off as a free subscriber and eventually got sick of the comercial business and changed to a paying subscriber..i cant say much about apple music bc even though i do have an iphone i have never actually used my itunes for anything bc my preference is spotify.
I prefer CDs and vinyl. The music industry is killing the music industry.
Of course its hurting the artist more than anything. People nowdays want something for nothing. Just watch the movie Idiocracy and you will see the future of society.
When I pay income tax in Poland, I am able to point an organisation that benefits 1% of my tax amount. Not much but still... Cost of Spotify Premium in PL is like 6$ a month. Not much. And if I knew I could send the money directly to some artists I love (10% to this, and 20% to that...) I think I would agree for even doubling the Spotify fee. No, I don't think Spotify is killing it now, unless I discover something dirty in their "similiar band" algorithms. The other answers to this question is "band merch" and "Patreon".
I'm actually supporting HOLLYWOOD UNDEAD next month and I'm very excited.
Haven't attended a concert since Alice In Chains came to Denver
spotify is the worst thing to happen to musicians...there is no pay for it..and people just live on the freeloading ways they have been even more,....sad...fuck it all
Spotify, you can buy premium, the same with pandora, so unless they start selling something else.....idk.
I don't listen to anything newer than 1990. Having plans based on content makes more sense to me. Most of the artist I listen to are really old or dead.
I use UA-cam red. It's a better version of Spottfly, Imo plus you get more to choose from
Spotify is sorta pissing me off. Because I don’t have money, I can’t pay for Apple Music or Spotify premium. So I have to use regular Spotify. I was fine with it until recently when they decided to play completely different artists when I play another artist. And when they promised me 30 minuets Of ad free music and not three minutes later I get another ad.
GHOST TOWN HEART lol u cant get spotify adfree & semi premium apk on internet try search on mobilism
This is exactly why I buy CDs
There is a problem both ways. You could argue this issue with streaming music is worse for the artist than a traditional purchase, and while it make be better for the artist to buy the album, they still get fucked over. The label takes a significant majority of the profit, and typically what small amount is left over is then divided between the band members, their manager, plus anyone else involved with the band continuously. And then there are things like paying for roadies when you have them (at least I believe roadies would get paid right?).
On top of the, in regards to physical album sales, a new standard edition album in Australia costs about $16, that's expensive if you like buying albums like me, and not only does a hug chunk of the go to the label more than the artist, but another big chunk of that is a mark up by the physical retailer so they can make a profit.
Basically any option I can think of, the artist always gets fucked over, and it's a matter of which option is the least shitty.
you have to sift through so much crap on spotify to find anything decent
i pay for spotify, i watch tons of youtube music videos and i buy a lot of merch. while i do understand that they dont get a ton from any of those especially depending on the source of the merch, its the most supportive, financially, that i can be. i cant go to shows which is where they get most of their money nowadays. if spotify cost $15 a month i would still do that, but for some reason $20 just seems too much for me.
Those poor, poor, big music conglomerates... In the good old days, it was they who were giving the artists pennies per cassette, album, or disc... Now that physical media sales have plummeted (due to years of price gouging and billions of used CDs endlessly recirculating in the market) they are scrambling to find a way to make up for that lost revenue; they have even tried to renegotiate contracts with artists for a bigger slice of the touring.
Spotify gives the Big Labels a 70% cut of the money for the content -- and it's only after that -- the big labels play their old game of stuffing their pockets and flicking a few pennies to the actual artists. It's the same old story; Big Label greed.
If you truly feel for the struggling artist, remember: it was the big labels that poisoned the well.
Next time when you do an interview you need to set it up
Not really. Spotify/UA-cam got me into a lot of bands I had otherwise never heard of. So I'm happy they exist
Like who?
he's prolly talking about shit like Twenty One Pilots and grandson
I think the price for streaming should rise drastically. I live in South Africa and the common subscription to Tidal, Google Play, iTunes etc is only R59,99.
spotify has around 60 million subscribed users, meaning if they all had purchased a monthly subscription spotify would be getting 600 million a month.
b a y l most of the time spotify offers sales too to keep up in the industry. Alot of the time the first few months are free after a 99c payment
I don' use Spotify or any other streaming service. All I need is a music player and Internet.
its stupid the amount of money that they make, our favourite artists dont get the money they should just cuase we cant be bothered to pay what we used to. or what our parents or past generations have done. By buying albums! The whole music scene has suffered whether if your into black veil brides or suicide silence or kanye west; all music has suffered. because music is just so easy to access, for so little! I get the idea of having it right with u on the go in ur phone, thats always been something thats been developed over the years, with boom boxes, walkmans and CD WLAKMANS AND IPODS AND MP3 PLAYERS, i meanits amazing how far the tech has come. and yet the people havnt come anywhere near as far as the tech, sure its awesome being able to band to band on spotify or apple music but it doesnt bring people together as much. It would be awesome for the bands if maybe on these apps that we have like one listening to something and then if u want the album then u have to pay what u would for like a C/D. ive brought C/Ds from bands that i really love to help them. plus the C/D is really cool and in my opinion just has a better sound, hell i brought a second hand walkman for nothing and now i use that. idk just my thoughts.
Yeah I would pay more, especially to the ones have a beautiful influence on this world!! They should have enough to live.
I don't stream albums because I'm super cheap. I usually listen to albums on here.(Sometimes) I treat music the same way I treat movies. I hate buying something and then find out I only like one or two songs.I have listened to 2 albums online before I actually brought the album.Most of the music I listen to is from Europe and most of these artists don't tour the U.S. I try to make up for the music I don't buy by going to concerts.As long as those tickets are under $100.
I wish they'd sell CDs again.
I mostly buy on itunes. If their's a cd I like and it's avalible I'll get it, but it's mostly gonna be on itunes.
This is the reason why my music teacher hates Spotify. Artists go broke using it. I still love CDS and am so happy LPs are making a comeback. Streaming service are mainly for the artists I like maybe for a while and then move on. If I really loved the artist, I would support them by buying a cd.
I completely agree. It does NOT empower people to make a living through music. I'm a pianist who makes covers of film and video game music for the piano. I'll generally make $0.50 per track if a person downloads and listens to it. To make that SAME amount of money through streaming, 1,100 people need to stream it... so 1,100 people get to listen to my music, and for that - I get 50 cents for it. I get 10K streams a month (on average), and will barely make $15 from it.
Streaming is a way for the companies like Spotify and Apple Music to charge everyone who uses it about $100/year and pay PEANUTS to the musicians. Let's put that in perspective... If the average stream earns you $0.0045 (yes, that's not a typo - not even a single cent per stream), then you would need to listen to 20K tracks a year (55 tracks a day, every day) to get your moneys worth. Most people don't, therefore the music companies make their profit, and the musicians get scammed.
It is genuinely destroying those who are trying to make it big in the business and promote their music.
Well its technology that moves fast .. we as artists can do nothing about it
... i mainly listen to BryanStars😂and yes i would pay more for you
Hell I’d pay $50 to support my fav bands
No they aren’t
Fuck i never thought of this!!!!
If Spotify, Apple Music, and Amazon Prime didn't keep musicians on the breadline I would most definitely pay more for a monthly subscription. I did a report on this in my stats class one year... and ethically when it comes down to it, you can't make a deal with Best Buy to where you buy a TV and then say I'm only going to use it once so I should only have to pay for the one-time viewing. Musicians deserve the same rights as merchants, selling a product ethically. As a musician, I shouldn't have to be in the T-shirt business to make a profit on my craft.
Considering people dont just use spotify for streaming, there will still be money in this industry. However, its still not easy for the artists themselves to make money
I love Spotify! It’s the best but I only ever buy everything Black Veil Brides / Andy Black & Creeper does musically everyone else can bolt 🤣
I don‘t consider to pay for music streaming at all, because:
1) paying less -> I don‘t support my fav musicians enough
2) paying more -> wouldn’t make sense to me, because then it would be as much as if I bought the album (25$ per month can be 2-5 albums per month, that‘s enough for me) and if I buy the album I own it and don’t have to give it back when I stop paying monthly, so I benefit more from that
I‘m still buying albums, main reason because I don‘t want my fav artists to „die“ (like Yashin and glamour of the kill), but there are plenty more reasons I prefer buying over streaming
Please just do interviews again, I mean these update vids are okay but interviews are more entertaining 🤷🏻♂️ just saying
Your picture perfect to me baby
Literally the music industry had it all figured out. Then streaming can along because its "better". Why fix something that isn't broken ? CDs worked just fucking fine
It should at least be harder for anyone out there to always listen for free. You should buy the record. I would buy more Cds if there still/more accessible. Good money used to serve big in terms of great delivery in music for as the industry but the listener first.
Well that sucks😰😡🤬
I don't get my music from Apple or spotify I get my music from Google play, I pay 10 bucks a month for my subscription but I won't use it any more if I have to start paying for have every song I wanna listen to an I don't see what problem is cuz musicians make lots of money by selling albums, sold out concerts an so on
Anyone here in 2021??
The last comment after me was 6 months ago. If you see this,
S U R V I V E
Yo! ✊🏻
i honestly hate that they aren’t being paid much... but i also don’t want to pay more for my Spotify subscription. i also wonder if the artists we love want the price of the subscription to go up? i think that so many bands/artists care about their listeners that they don’t want us to go broke because we want to listen to their music
Spotify pays artits depending on the deal between the label and Spotify. I.e. Taylor Swift gets paid a lot more than an underground artist who uses Spotify just to reach a bigger audience (ideally). I'd recomend using bandcamp. They are fair to musicians and you can buy the artist's music directly from the site.
I would HATE to pay extra monthly, but something has to be done that better benefits bands and doesn't step on the toes of consumers. I'm going to think on this, but if you guys have ideas let's talk about it.
Spotify has premium, I think it's only free on a computer now
Artists make money from shows and merch sales. Only people still trying to make money off of music sales are old school bands. Modern artists are giving their music away, making it accessible as possible so they can grow a fan base.
Entendi lo que dijooo.. En palabras sencillas.. Deberian pagarles a las bandas x cada vez que se escuchan sus canciones.. Por lo menos....
I only use streaming apps because I'm broke and if I could then I would buy the band's CDS but again, broke...
Hey Bryan can you cover the rape allegations for melanie martinez released around 7 hours ago?? I love mel and I need to know if it's true or not.
Ey Camera Man, Stop Making Funny Faces!!
I do think that our artists need more. But Dammit I'm poor
Vintage Sound
What college, if I may ask
Vintage Sound
Fantastic.
I would if I could afford to, but I'm poor as shit
Is it bad? It’s terrible. Would I consider paying more? Of course. I was very happy with the way it used to be and buying cd’s etc I love music and I respect the bands and artists I follow and feel privileged to buy their awesome work
Yes, it is.
Lol it kinda is man love you
The short answer is no. Not anymore
