This morning, I posted a graphic that compared the incomes of indie and major label artists. The readers, as they should, quickly pointed out several flaws in the chart. Bruce and I saw a few inaccuracies. However, we would never be able to see as many as our smartest readers can. I would love to hear your take on the graphic [here](https://www.hypebot.com/see-how-much-indie-artists-make-vs-label-artists/). I was not trying to step on anyone's toes with the wording. I was just leaving room for healthy debate in the comments.
