Nobody said that doing the right thing would be easy. It rarely is. But Iโd rather die doing the right thing, than live being part of the wrong thing. ๐ณ๏ธโ๐โ
Thanks for the links, will check them all out. But from a brief squizz at the bbc link... can I just point out that these are all VERY established artists, with established fanbases. None of these will be interacting with people online anyway, already using a social media manager to do all their posts etc.
There's no point making music that nobody knows exist, and unfortunately streaming / social media are the main avenues for reaching new fans these days.
