Lily Allen is not doing it to talk about how bad it is for her, she's doing it to show how bad it is for musicians in general. No one is going to even pay attention unless a successful musician does this.
I think she's just doing it to make more money and get more fame. This is completely irrelevant to other musicians situations.
Most of them make no money whatsoever.
... Them making no money whatsoever is the whole point.
Theyre not taking on side hustles, theyre working full on jobs. This story reads like them almost making enough to survive, they just need a little help. At this point the only way they can be full time musicians and make enough to live is UBI.
