I appreciate you clearing that up - re: up front versus annual. I was mistaken in recollection and did not intend to disparage the platform if I did so. Sometimes I cross wires with who does what and it is not from malice. The market is getting a bit more populated, and that's great! I'm certain there are many happy clients of various platforms and competition is good for both artists and customers. If you're in the biz and would be interested, I highly recommend the Michael Nelson series on Stereogum.com titled "Who's Buying" because he does some real deep dives into the financials and marketing and customer engagement details that aren't surface-level. It's nerding out type of stuff, and while his tone is very casual and occasionally confrontational, I do appreciate the effort to continue to present interesting thoughts for both artists and fans to engage with as they're comfortable. My biggest reservation about "the industry" is that it's easy to be a dreamer, to think about potential, and reality often is a disappointment. That's not good for a customer, though it may be a good business model for a distributor. I do think transparency has been a real issue for many, many years, and companies that work towards moving the needle back toward a positive relationship deserve credit.
