IP #5 PAWNS Music Isn’t Dead.

The music industry isn’t "dead." It has been hijacked by a system that prizes algorithms over artistry and viral moments over talent. In this video, we redline the "Viral Factory"—the new business model where record labels have stopped building artists and started strip-mining trends.

From the rise of streaming farms and fake numbers to the introduction of AI-generated "idols," we expose how the industry riggs the game against real musicians.

ABOUT REDLINE THEORY: RedlineTheory is a channel for critical thinkers. We deconstruct the systems that shape our world—from the products we buy to the culture we consume. Our mission is to "redline" the flaws, find the hidden clauses, and expose the gap between how things are supposed to work and how they actually do.
