I suspected that this had been the case for years now. A few years back, when I heard Myspace had "relaunched" with a focus on music artists, I checked it out, as in the 2000s MySpace was basically what Bandcamp is now for independent artists; streaming music with options to buy tracks.

The artists' pages were completely blank, barring a few pictures and a description extracted via the Wikipedia API. No music available at all. This is was in stark contrast from the original MySpace days when the profile pages would be chock full of streaming songs, tour announcements and interactions with fans.
