The only way I see this happening is to steer unsigned artists away from major (and often not-so-major) labels, and towards indie status.

Barriers to entry no longer exist. Anyone can publish, release, and distribute their own music. Plus, it's not even necessary to do physical releases anymore.

The PROBLEM is that the competition is now as stiff as it ever was, just in a different way. Before, artists had to compete against other artists for company resources. Now, indies have to rely on their own resources and ingenuity to compete in an open market for views/clicks/streams.

Good luck, 'ye.
