The Real Reason Why Music Is Getting Worse
This is one of Rick's most cutting videos ever. It's not a rant; it's an intelligent point-by-point breakdown that covers everything from quantization to AI to streaming services.
I encourage anyone who loves music to watch this, and then think about what they are consuming.
@voltronic Interesting. Is music getting worse, or is it getting more abundant. If I can only afford one apple, it's gonna be perfect when I eat it. If I can have unlimited apples for the same price, chances are most of them are gonna be rotten. I don't think music is getting worse, I think that the industry has become dependent on a handful of artists to sustain it. Having spent countless thousands of dollars on music and gear, I fully embrace the current models of production and consumption.
@voltronic
If I like an album enough, I will either purchase a download or buy the vinyl (which has become outrageously overpriced due to bloated production costs) directly from the artist if possible, because the only to sustain good music is to support the people who make it and do an end run around the middlemen.
