Spotify's CEO Daniel Elk sparked a firestorm of backlash with his assertion that the cost of content creation is "close to zero."
This statement is a concise summary of what is wrong with the digital world today. Through the lens of AI, social media, and an MBA-driven mindset, art has been reduced to its most rote tasks, with the intent of making its creation more efficient, cost-effective, and profitable. The problem is, this approach has not made it profitable for musicians and has stripped away the very elements that made art valuable—the time, effort, and struggle that an artist invests in the birth of their work. #danielelk #spotify
