When I won't pay to see my favourite artist live, something is very, very wrong.

You could have the voice of an angel on Youtube, people will still find a reason to give you downvotes (mostly jealousy I think) and complain or insult you like a little pathetic bitch.
Up till yesterday if you tried to look for a recent Prince live video on YT you'd find none, not even official videos for many songs were left on YouTube. Did Prince's voice suck at any time during his career? I doubt it. Why should anyone other than the original artist get clicks / subs and thus potential revenue via these videos just because they happened to be at a show? I could go watch the Jungle book at the cinema tonight, record it with my video camera and upload the whole movie onto YT. Sure people will click and watch till it gets flagged. Ultimately I have no copyright for sharing that material. It is down to the artist in the end for leaving them up or not. As much as I like to see live videos, if one is solely basing the reason for going to someone's show just because of YT vids then you are probably not a reliable source of income for the artist so you might as well go see someone else as far as they are concerned. They still sell out shows even without social media. People still have a great time. Not until all the seats are empty will the artists keep playing and why not? Should one stop just to suit you?
