    This document discusses how streaming platforms are negatively impacting the music industry in several ways: 1. Artists are not paid fairly according to how much their music is streamed. Lower prices for consumers mean lower payments to artists. 2. Music is devalued as an art form on streaming platforms. Without physical albums, music lacks an artistic process and is viewed purely as a profitable commodity. 3. Capitalism is exacerbating the problem as popular artists dominate streaming at the expense of independent artists. Streaming has provided more visibility for artists but not proper compensation, endangering their ability to make a living through their art. Alternatives like Bandcamp and physical sales are suggested to better support artists
