The recorded music industry and the live music industry both weigh roughly $25b, why is it that artists can only see one of them as a reliable source of income?: https://drakula.app/post/54036204-fdab-4efd-9b0e-7b31cb32f474?invite=dQfgdw

As a fan, your subscription money doesn't simply flow to your artists As an artist, your fans' money is being re-routed to content they aren't even aware of, and it's not yours... Thoughts?: https://drakula.app/post/0056a4ca-49c3-4a12-9b5c-59dd12bcd55f?invite=dQfgdw

Apart from the foundation of the music industry which is copyrighted content, most of it is not regulated at all! So, of course, we end up with no transparency which trickles down to lack of innovation, gatekeeping and poor economics

Step 2: use the scale that trust granted you to negotiate sweet deals for yourself and control streamers in the process (meanwhile artists make less money so you increase your power over them)

Social engineering: top-down efforts to influence social behaviors on a large scale Applied to music streaming, it's all about saying you're the most popular platform because you have more activity (streams)

In case you were wondering why Spotify is telling everyone they give a lot of money to indies/DIY artists Let's call it "Criticism front-running"
