How are musicians supposed to survive on $0.00173 per stream?
  • Actually while typing that out I thought more about the technical architecture of such distributed alternative streaming service that pays artists fairly, and it does sound like it could be fun to build.

    But everyone in the fediverse already knows how difficult/impossible it is to get the average person to switch to open source software. It would most likely be a waste of time.

  • Because they have all the customers.

    If you don't like the rate the current major platforms give, you could choose to use one of the many alternatives that (presumably) exist.

    And if they really don't, I could build you one in a couple of weekends with all the open source resources and federation protocols available today.

    But none of that matters because all the paying customers are on those major platforms. And until you convince users to move off those platforms, you're basically their bitch. They'll pay you whatever they happen to feel like paying you.

    I really do hope I'm mistaken, and the responses will start pouring in as this post gets more visibility.
