Deezer told me about this practice a few years ago. I disagree with the writer’s statement that the only ones who lose out are “older out of touch-artists who think music should always be something meaningful and “culturally important” #Fixstreaming musicbusinessworldwide.com/an-mbw-reader-…
It is, however, true that I have a few musician friends who reverted to making this kind of “chill” music when they had kids - and discovered they make more from that than they did from streams of their artist albums…
