Re: I'm Jeff Price. And I'm Ready to Talk About My TuneCore Departure...
Whether you disagree with Mr. Price or not, one has to wonder if there aren't major monied interests invested in Mr. Price's exit and the described lack of "vision" at Tunecore currently.
Could larger companies desire and actually be seeking the demise of DIY'ers like Tunecore in order to reclaim (read: Control) the music release "funnel" once again.
This sort of behavior certainly isn't new to the business world. See: Hearst's push against hemp fiber paper to protect his timber-origin paper. Oil companies' frequent push back against alternative energies that could harm fossil fuel demand. On and on.
The music industry is arguably one of the most cutthroat in the world, so is this really beyond the scope of reality?
Intriguing for sure. My 2 cents.
