    A lot of well-known musicians are actually not that well off. While Taytay has a private jet, there’s a very long tail. The increased access to recording, discovery, and playback tools was not accompanied by an equal increase in money spent on pop culture. It’s also not necessarily accompanied by increased fairness in the way money is being split up – despite digital downloads/streams being being much cheaper than CD logistics.
