       Somebody I know is in the top 10% of Spotify.Guess how much the artist makes by being in the top 10% of Spotify.Around $50 a month.Streaming music sucks

       @lastfuture streaming music isn’t really the problem, massive technology monopolies that lock pricing against artists is the problemI think independent sales and streaming services deliver pretty good amounts of money to artists, Bandcamp is pretty good and is direct sale to fans (so artists keep a majority of profits) afaikmostly just companies like Spotify and others which fuck over the artists for money, not the actual act of streaming itself :p

       I don't know the contractual conditions of the other providers - but as #Deezer pays out 70% of the revenue to the labels - how can that be worse than the old $1 CD deals? #ucpshttps://www.deezer.com/ucps

       @lastfuture yeah, it's good for raising awareness of what you create, but you'll never make money from it. My focus is now on soundcloud for community and friends and bandcam to actually try and make money. Plus a few ideas up my sleeve for a few years down the line.

       @lastfuture The most disappointing thing about the way Spotify works is that your monthly payment gets distributed to all artists on Spotify according to how popular they are globally, not the ones you actually listen to
