its because artists arent in charge of making art anymore, marketing teams and accountants are. sure artists are still involved, but they have to fight for every deviation from 'proven formula' . business is all about formulas. replicating what worked before. but great art is seldom a replication. great art breaks new ground. and thats a risk. in business risks arent usually worth taking.

I agree, but I think there’s an additional component. Typically, art has a cyclical element of a boom of creativity, followed by streamlining and perfecting the art and then mass production of the product. By the end of a cycle, all the music sounds the same. 

Additionally, I think this is more in-line with what you said- but the more common practice of “stakeholders” or “investors” being part of a company structure puts a lot of pressure on companies to find ways to maximize their profits quarter after quarter. They’re parasites. And the larger they grow, the lesser the quality of products we’re given. We’ve gotten to a point where we the vast majority of our options are like this. Continuously choosing the lesser of two evils leads to greater and greater evils. 

I hope we’re close to a revolution. It feels like we are.
