I agree. Sometimes less is more. It's the same for content creators as myself on sites such as Twitch and co. Those sites take up to 50% from all donations and subscriptions and some even have the guts to demand exclusivity on your live content. For Twitch that means if you want to be affiliated we'll take 50% of your money for our cloud service and you may not restream at the same time. I take the 50% cut for the extra exposure and to drive my viewers to another site but I will not give you exclusivity over MY content so no affiliation for me. - also means I don't get subs or donations on Twitch.

I think decentralised distribution, audio and video networks have a huge opportunity in the years to come if they BUIDL solid brands. Some are already thriving but not so much for musicians.
