I read this as splitting each user's monthly payment only across the artists they themselves listened to (like how YouTube premium works) instead of pooling everything together. So artists with more paying listeners would get more, while artists who only get listened to by free bot accounts wouldn't get anything.
- rain_iwakura 3y agohow would this work if i listen to 1000 bands? the split would be miniscule.
- Dylan16807 3y agoIf you listen to one or two songs each from a thousand bands, the amount each band gets is minuscule with either method.
- rain_iwakura 3y agothis was basically what I was asking. would this scheme actually make more money for the musicians? thanks for a reply.
- Dylan16807 3y agoThe total amount doesn't change, but I think it would be fairer.
- esafak 3y agoThe split would be fair, and if the same algorithm applied to every subscriber, popular musicians would get paid more.
- cuu508 3y agoDo you mean, how do you handle $0.001 monthly payouts? Spotify could set a payout threshold. If the threshold is not passed in a given month, the balance carries over to the next month.
