Physical production is replaced on the Internect with the Filtering and Ranking function.
People turn to search engines and reliable websites to filter the enormous options for them. People definitely do not have the time to uncover small artists by themselves.
So there will be Internet tastemakers, and independent artists will have to work to get their attention. This is already happening in other areas of e-commerce – people take courses in how to increase their ranking on Google, and other aspects of self-promotion.
But it is still much more open to the small musician.
