See, this is one of the reasons why I haven't listened to music in almost a decade. Paying fairly to artists is provably unaffordable for the average joe, unless a shady workaround like the streaming service subscription exists (and even then, that barely fills the belly of the artists that dedicate exclusively to art).

Physical records make good money for the artists, if it weren't for the greedy discographies of course.

That's a pretty silly statement. I still have all the CDs I bought before streaming and they're stored in boxes in a closet because they're all ripped to my computer. Why wouldn't you listen to music? It's one of our (as a species) greatest creations.
