It's just crazy.
Musicians are getting the equivalent of an ad per stream.
As a musician/composer that does it for the love I put it many, many hours on each song. Its frickin' outrageous that people get as good as nothing and it seems as the more successful you are the better the deal you get #pyramid
Also, the CEO of spotify is just horrible.
- jgeada 6y agoThe "work" that the artist did once is producing a lifetime of revenue by taxing everyone else's work. The artist isn't lifting a finger in the work that Spotify (or any other music platform) is doing. Why are they expecting to get more?
- RHSman2 6y agoWhat? An artist’s work isn’t just once. They ‘lifted’ their fingers to get their skills and then created something unique. Just like coding well isn’t a nice thing but very few coders make anything of their own. They are the session musicians.
- FireBeyond 6y ago> Musicians are getting the equivalent of an ad per stream. Except when I listen to an album, I'm often listening to 15 "ads" (tracks) in a row so I'm not really seeing the equivalence. Especially when there are albums I listen to in their entirety multiple times a month. At least I use Tidal, which may have its faults but has historically paid out the most to artists.
