Replying to Avatar Niel Liesmons

The artist has zero choice in who offers their art.

Once Beyoncé signs her latest single, anyone that has access to that single can start hosting it anywhere else.

She cannot sell that single. She can only sell the concerts, merch, interviews, ... and other scarce things that go with that single.

"zero choice" don't be ridiculous

people still pay for the single even though they can download it off torrents

this conversation has bored me to death

Podcasts are a great example of this.

Where is the successful podcast app that charges the listeners?

People only really pay for the physical Beyoncé single (merch) or on #V4V-like platforms (for recognition, attention from creator, ...)
