Something I realized listening to music with my son is that high fidelity music has existed for about 80 years, so any new musician needs to compete with the greatest music produced by all of human civilization in 80 years.
What's easier at that point, especially given the fact they're going to keep getting a revenue drip from a lot of artists who have been dead longer than any of us have been alive? Finding the next Jimi Hendrix, or finding some dumb ho to mumble about her "wet ass pussy"?

I recall it was some absurd number, like half of books struggled to get more than 12 sales. I got more than 12 sales, and I'm just some shitposter on the Internet!
On a lark I checked out who published the Mark Twain anthology I've got on my desk right now, and honestly I don't even recognise the parent company.
(I guess though the service they're providing isn't the book or even the printing, it's putting it together in a suitably pretentious package - and that isn't a criticism, that's the reason I bought it)
