The net result of this is that ad-supported services contribute only 3% of recorded music revenues, despite representing five times as much in terms of consumption. To put this into perspective, UK record labels earned more revenue last year from vinyl than they did from the 14 billion music streams on YouTube. It’s crazy.

Ou seja, apesar de o consumo de streaming ser 5x superior às vendas a indústria não está a ganhar patavina em receitas com publicidade nesses serviços de streaming; lucraram mais com as míseras vendas de vinil novo do que com os 14.000.000.000.000 de streams no youtube.
A indústria está a sofrer...e queixa-se.
