Centralised billing effectively makes serious journalism impossible. Omnibus subscription services will ruthlessly cut anything that affects the bottom line, and effective journalism is necessarily unpopular.

Exactly! That's why Spotify doesn't allow any noisy music or music with curse words. The mainstream public would flee from the platform.

I'd encourage you to ask a recording artist how they like the arrangement they have with Spotify.

But also, yeah, I do think the streaming financial incentives affect what music gets written and produced. Just not necessarily anything to do with cuss words.

		The artists are there because of their own free will. They voluntarily signed their contracts with the record labels. How are journalists and independent journalism doing in comparison?
