The state of the music industry right now is exhausting. My biggest issue is how everyone has become a music analyst or critic, including listeners, but instead of judging the music itself, they base their opinions on streams, awards and other vague metrics Critiquing the actual sound and product is a good thing. It helps artists reflect, improve and grow. But using streams to determine how good a song is makes no sense when we all know that commercial success doesn’t necessarily reflect musical quality Another thing that bothers me is how everyone now seems to have access to artists backend Spotify data and metrics. I genuinely don’t think listeners need that much access to such information
