This is a $1 dollar increase from what I was paying. But soon subscribers will be $15/month, then $20/month. I wonder how much of deezer's income actually goes to the artists.

CDs have been making a slow comeback for the past year or two, and global CD sales actually went up last year for the first time in over a decade. If it's anything like the vinyl or cassette resurgence, I imagine it won't be too difficult to find places that sell CDs in a few years.
Let us not forget how these same publishers used to price gouge us on these CDs before we had any legitimate alternatives. In the '90s, they'd charge $20-$25 for an album with 10 songs on it, most of them filler. With inflation, that'd be equivalent to $40-$50 today.
