Yeah! The issue is the music industry has Stockholm Syndrome. Artists still idolize record labels, fame, and celebrities. They rather give a label 90% of their revenue in exchange for fame than go independent and keep 100% of their money and ownership. Also, the music industry has been so deeply fucked by the internet, that most artists are ok earning pennies, and the whole industry just stopped innovating a long time ago. The industry gave up.
