Radio was never a profit center for artists, it was a promotional vehicle for CD sales. The new Spotify world yields far lower earnings for musicians.

Historically, the profits of the CD era was an outlier. Ever inclining revenue is not a fundamental right.

Whether radio was a profit center or not is beside the point, but whatever, maybe touring and merch can be the new one, or not.

I for one don't feel obliged to come up with a way for them to sustain the wealth of a bygone era.

Increasing revenue is not a fundamental right, but deciding whether your music will be on Spotify or not certainly is.
