RE: HOW TO BRING YOUR COMMUNITY TO STEEMIT
A lot of wisdom here. File sharing looked like the end of the music industry, or at least it was presented that way; but look at the incredible artists who established a following just by being excellent on YouTube.
It's permissionless. A barrier between the creator and the consumer has been kicked over.
Artists have needed to be a little more creative in how they capitalise; they need to tour a lot more than they did, but think of all the Weinstein types who no longer get to be the only gateway to an audience.
Yep, but the touring model is not a reality for every artist - some of us also have kids and dont want to live on the road! I like being able to balance touring with getting paid for the recordings/content I generate!
You should wear that t-shirt next time you're at a gig!
seconded :)
