How much do they need, though?

You people never factor this in. It's always an on-off switch in your minds.

consider this. most musicians don't have [n]early as much money as Paul McCartney. Even Paul McCartney didn't have much money when he was starting out in the 60s.

Many, many new artist haven't earned bupkis yet. And AI, would make it more difficult. So, zip it, dippy.
