Agreed in general.

"and it isn’t about just a couple bucks anymore."

And I want to add, that for quite some musicians, a couple of bucks can make the difference between being able to (partly) pay the rent, or not.

And those are usually the ones making interesting music. So I rather would like the trend reversed, less for the superstars, more for the unkown artists. But this is unlikely to change with these services.
