Obviously profit was pursued in the early days but it was still about finding and promoting talent. But since the '80s it's grown to be just about image. You find a hot person that's a passable singer, autotune them, hand them songs written by someone else, get them in with one of the few top producers, and you have yourself a money making machine.
