As I see it, the problem is fixed pricing per stream. It would be fairer to the musicians if Spotify would define the payout pot per month, or quarter, and then pay out equally per stream from the pot.
- satyrnein 3y agoThis is exactly how it currently works. Rightsholders get a pro rata share of the pot based on stream share.
- the_other 3y agoIt's not "exactly" how it works. Spotify don't pay you anything at all if your track gets <1000 plays. This means low-count content is subsidising higher count content. I have seen articles detailing the different payout per stream of the different services, several times in recent years. From this I had assumed the payouts were fixed rate. I accept I could have misunderstood.
