Agree 200%. Quality compared to price also not good. Oz seems to have streamlined economy to just a few viable industries over prev 20 years. Maybe infl by lobbies, deals. Job scope now very specific rather than wide-ranging & dynamic. Had same discussion with expats in EU ca. 10 yrs ago.

Great tip! Thanks.
Don't understand why larger countries can't do this. Oz is a time warp. Same prehistoric regional trains + once daily service as the 80s. Only affordable connection to closest metropol (5 hrs) after pandemic inflation. Better economic outcomes all-round: trades, providers, accessibility, commuters.

That's definitely an idea!

Thread 4: For any of this to change, groups of people on mass need to close accounts & move to another service. I don't know why people are reluctant to move to Tidal. They're offering a good alternative. I'm not with Spotify. 🤗

Thread 3: More est. artists have some luxury re: already having a 'secure' network. I know the word secure is a bit ironic for the music scene, but you know what I mean. Younger artists are less likely, I think.

Thread 2: The music scene stays the same because nobody actually does anything in terms of activism. They follow trends to stay relevant. I feel other art forms are much better at collectivism & therefore, rebellion. Music is a very individualised world. Spotify has a hold in terms of numbers.

Longer thread: It's tricky. Everyone is complaining & nobody is doing anything. Plus, the stupid EOY stats trend on socials. It's like an achievement badge at girl guides. Nobody actually posts the crap amount of money they earn with the Spotify wrap-up.
