I also looked into how the website is set up,…

there that are making thousands off of being fake. Autotune has completely taken over the music culture today and I have a problem with that. Over 90% of artists today use or have used autotune in some capacity. Why is it we are taught not to be fake all our lives and then turn around and praise others based on their popularity. I believe that if you need to be fake and use autotune to get where you are in the music world, you don’t deserve to be there. As I stated before close to 90% of artists…

He/she must know…

denominator present in all three of these music streaming services is that all basic features offered are essentially free to music users under certain conditions. The question of artist/songwriter revenue streams has become a pressing issue since music is so easily accessible free of charge via these services.
