Streaming is what's hurting the artists now, and it's their own contracts doing it to them. The record companies license out their whole libraries of music to streaming services, but the artists don't get a fair cut of that deal at all.
The top 40 big acts can make about 80% of their money touring, but everyone below those superstars gets paid so little they're lucky if they can break even touring.
If you see more product placement in music videos now, don't accuse them of "selling out", accept that they're trying to eat.
