Ah, but what if those big stars have the negotiating leverage to get paid more per play ?
If the platform has a fixed-size pie and can afford to pay $0.005 per play, but Joe Rogan and Taylor Swift will walk away unless they get $0.01 per play, should small artists' slice of the pie be reduced to $0.002 per play?
- short_sells_poo 3y agoThat's entirely possible, I wasn't delving into the "why". For what it's worth, I agree with you that the big stars have a much more concentrated negotiating power. Unless the small artists unionize, they'll simply have very little leverage.
