The listener isn't responsible for what is produced but the listener is responsible for what that is produced overall becomes valuable commodity. Therefore it is the responsibility of the musician to decide what course of action, if any, they should in order to make money, stay artistically true, or both. Of course, though, the public is ultimately responsible for this environment but they aren't responsible for the musician's choice. Demand doesn't necessitate supply on the individual level but demand will find alternative suppliers which is a fact that can persuade any reluctant would-be supplier.
I hope that was an intelligent answer. Rather typical SY fan hipster rhetoric. lol indie, etc.
