Oh sure, great idea! Henceforth, actors don’t get paid any more. that’s what you’re advocating, that’s what the music industry has “figured out” - how to steal all the money and give it to people who had no involvement with actually making the music.
You should be pirating the fucking music not supporting the pricks who walked in off the street and stole everything and who make nothing at all themselves
Spotify pays more to artists than physical stores selling CDs ever did. And they certainly pay better than FM radio.
Sure - if you were one of he top 1000 artists in the world the old system paid more… but it’s not like those artists are starving now — Spotify alone pays millions per year to the top thousand artists, and they also get paid by YouTube, Apple, TikTok, etc etc.
The real way to make money in the music industry is and always has been live performances. A solo artist can make a couple hundred bucks a night doing simple cover songs, and a popular band can make a lot more.
