Transcript
Music streaming services are dying. This is what's gonna happen in the next five years. All the most talented artists who make high quality music are going to stop dropping on DSPs and go with direct to consumer options like this. This is my album. You take this card, plug it in your phone. My 21 song album is in your files. You own the music. These artists will develop small best supportive fan bases and will actually end up making more money than they would on Spotify. After all the best artists leave DSPs, monthly subscribers will be left with low quality algorithm music or worse, AI generated music. And they'll either keep mindlessly streaming because $15 per month is more convenient for them, or they'll finally wake up and realize good music is worth paying for. This is a revolution, and it starts with fizzy.
