Country fans do appear to be more loyal, and perhaps that's because country music is a narrative-led and personally relatable genre to its audience, making it easy for listeners to build these connections with their favorite artists, mostly writers who make them feel at home.

Yeah idk how that jives with all that's implied by her assessment in this part, though:

In my opinion, the value of an album is, and will continue to be, based on the amount of heart and soul an artist has bled into a body of work, and the financial value that artists (and their labels) place on their music when it goes out into the marketplace.

The whole context is commercial success and being able to move units so I don't really see it as "recognition of your worth" in some other abstract sense.
