(Jimmy) Iovine put it bluntly: “The streaming services have a bad situation, there’s no margins, they’re not making any money.”

@benpate@mastodon.social uhm... interesting BUT: > "Iovine argues that DSPs have completely failed to become “cultural hangars” where artists and fans can actually interact. "It's one-dimensional. It's an ATM machine. You put your money in, you get your music," Iovine stated. "They don't do anything for the artist. The artist wants to communicate with their fans, period... and the streaming services are still saying, 'We'll put you on our list if you're nice to us.' That's bullshit."" I love (well, loved?) music, love going to the concert but at no point in past decade I felt the need to interact with the artist...
