I just don't see many of the ideas in here working - and he didn't mention on-chain music which I think has more chance than play credits (remember emusic back in the day?) - or curated freemium. Discretionary pricing could equate to crypto but still - the reality is smaller artists / labels are about to get screwed again: https://musicindustryblog.wordpress.com/2025/03/18/a-model-for-a-new-streaming-industry/

Agreed. In my eyes the biggest hurdle is figuring out a way to get people to actually pay smaller artists, and none of these ideas are too compelling We definitely need to get rid of the predatory music middlemen too, but removing the middlemen isn't worth much if no one is willing to actually pay for music It feels like crypto can be the solution here, but none of the onchain music experiments have really hit the mark yet imo. but with more experimentation someone might finally discover the right model

> This is inarguable because the very essence of the model is that songs with less than 1,000 streams in the prior 12 months will not get paid royalties Sounds like an opportunity for blockchain music platforms to win over this audience. Everyone starts from zero plays. I also think web3 is well positioned to capture indie labels. Really like this new feature from @catalog https://x.com/catalogworks/status/1899510756372369642
