Maybe there is a market for a "patreon for musicians". A platform that distributes your music to all streaming platforms but doesn't steal the rights from you. And additionally lets fans subscribe monthly for favorite arists (like patreon) for early access to music and discount to concerts and merch. IMO the patreon model is so good to lift artists out of poverty if they provide value to a small number of people without them having to loose all their creations to some publisher they signed off to in the begining.

Maybe if myspace didn't kill itself, it could have been it.

You can get all your music onto all streaming platforms without giving up any rights for about $20/year. The Patreon part, presumably you could use Patreon itself for this?
This sounds like Bandcamp.
