Perhaps it's due to the relatively low population so far but with the nature of the way it's set up, shouldn't the cream rise to the top?
I only post my protestee/public service announcement type songs and videos and have not released any of my commercial love song type material but I thought or think I see the beginnings of a possible new Music Business or paradigm.
The old 1920's to say 2008, get the song past the gatekeepers to the artist, get radio play etc. n have the PRO'S (BMI, ASCAP, SESAC, (sounds kinda rude) SOCAN etc.) collect the cash.
Now that no one buys music anymore and it takes 1 million Spotify plays to earn enough for a T-Shirt (a nice one not a cheapo Mexican or Malaysian thing!) the musical middle-class songwriter has been made nearly extinct! Some people that have had some success in the old system in Nashville have hung up the guitar in trade for a taxi license!
With all the devolpers and app people climbing on board maybe we can create a new music Buisness....What do you think?
