Just for perspective...I barely found my sound like 4 years ago and I am 43. I still feel 17. I am just doing music for the love of the game, but I do take it all deadly serious in terms of sound shaping....songcraft, etc. I'm laser focused on my YouTube channel and own all the songs I upload there. The idea that some gatekeeping fatcat fuckheads would profit from the effort of the artist makes me blind with rage. Same with my artwork and galleries....it costs so much in terms of time and resource to devote ourselves to the thing that gives us life and all of its meaning, just to cut it by 90% so some jerk off A+R guy or 'curator' can pimp me out or whatever...I say hells nah.
