This is discussion of the history of music distribution. Physical media releases are increasing sales based on industry data.
Spender is a musician herself experiencing the economics of distribution for small artists. It does sound like professionally written advertising copywriting which may be annoying. And she is selling her music and merch.
She evangelizes the small cassette subculture of musicians releasing and buyers collecting cassettes. Personally, I think it will remain a small niche. She discusses the economics of small tape releases, and they are profitable.
She recommends book High bias the distorted history of the cassette tape by Mark Master and movie Cassette: a documentary mixtape by Zach Taylor.
But I think many of our ASR discussions touch on her thoughts in the video, such as the nostalgia for vintage audio. YouTube has a transcription which can be faster to read.
