Lily Allen's Feet Pics & The Broken Music Biz
posted October 29, 2024 #
Really great long read from Drowned in Sound on Lily Allen's Feet. More specifically, a comment that she made expressing that she makes more from selling photos of her feet on OnlyFans than she does from streaming.
The Allen post is clearly not meant to be a nuanced examination of the music industry or tech's role in it. She's making a point that artists with millions of listeners are not financially benefiting from it, just like everyone else. This is a problem. However, if you do want a nuanced examination of the music industry, advances, contracts, copyright owners, marketing expenses and so much more - you will enjoy the Drowned in Sound deep dive, as I did.
