RE: Earning Money vs. Making an Impact on Steemit, or, Why Your Best Posts Aren’t Earning The Big Bucks

in #steemit8 years ago

This site is a step in the right direction as far a music goes. Regrettably, for the environment, the internet instead of allowing artists to earn local, has forced musicians and other entertainers​ to tour, tour, tour...An enormous carbon footprint.

Sort:  

Meh, I don't know if you can blame the internet for touring. Would it better for musicians to be forced to sign away their rights to record label for the privilege of touring?

I don't even have a driver's license anymore (by choice) - so I feel you on the environmental side. But I do view the 80's, where Black Flag and Sonic Youth amongst others forged the DIY touring circuit, as a crucial turning point in the music industry.
