I disagree. Sure, the internet might have given more people the ability to publish their music, but it has also cheapened the act of listening music to such a degree that any benefit that might have brought on has been completely eroded. "Back in the days" when people bought music, they actually were forced to engage with it, nowadays anything that might challenge listening conventions gets immediately skipped in favor of something else that more easily fits listening conventions. Streaming services obviously change listening behaviour and changed listening behaviour changes the music itself (as studies have proven). As more and more of human experience is viewed through the logic of the market, art is obviously going to suffer.
