this guys music sucks and is worth about 30 bucks in royalties in a quarter. I see nothing wrong with this. The musicians can make millions or consumers can listen to everything for 10 bucks a month. I prefer the later. music is the worst business ever. You have no pricing power and you're competing with all music that's ever been recorded. if someone made a record 50 years ago and died, they're still your competition. ouch bad scene.

Insulting the artist adds no value to your point about the merits of the music industry. Nobody logs onto this site to read your opinion about whose music sucks. Please add value or don't post at all.

But he did, there's plenty of sentences after the first one.

One could argue that in aggregate the value add was not positive, since the beginning certainly has negative value. ;) Anyway, one could also argue that my comment doesn't add anything either...

The point being made is about the per-listen payment, so quality is irrelevant; even bands that get a huge number of listens make very little money on services like Spotify or Pandora. Of course, it's still better than nothing, which is what they get from piracy.
