This session explores the future of music consumption as streaming platforms and social media continue to reshape how music is created, discovered, and valued. The journalistic discussion addresses structural challenges such as oversupply, algorithms, fair compensation, and the growing influence of AI.
Music journalist Liz Pelly, author of "Mood Machine", offers a critical view on how streaming economies affect artists and listeners, while Austin Robey, founder of Subvert, presents an alternative vision rooted in collective ownership. Together, they ask a central question: how can future music consumption be not only convenient, but also fair, diverse, and built to serve artists and communities in the long term?
