Challenging Erupt To A Career Battle

Basically all the shit you can do for yourself they do haha.

But there's next to no one who makes a successful album. Hell no one's even releasing albums in the first place. So with a mixtape earning very little money, there being an extremely select few people releasing albums or having highly successful youtube music videos....where's the profit for the labels if they aren't major labels?

Why do labels pay for your recording time and shoot your videos if more often than not the majority of people aren't able to earn them a dime back, and the label isn't really even pushing out enough content? It's it all just one massive wager on a single person taking off?
