    $30 for a vinyl sounds like a whole lot more than less than a penny per stream, right?

  • shaleirose

    Yes because they’re getting hundreds of millions to billions of streams. That’s the top 5%. Majority of artists aren’t getting streamed anywhere near that on a regular basis

    Any artist with over 50k monthly listeners getting paid pretty well, yall act like they gotta get paid 15k a month and artists have other ways to earn money, spotify is just one of them.

    How is that working for these hypothetical people

    Everybody wants to use an iPod.

    Nobody is stopping you guys from buying every album on iTunes, you can totally do that and some people do and most people wont because i promise in 2026 everyone will just pirate your album exactly how they did 20 years ago

    Back then if you wanted to be a superstar, a label had to choose you.

    Artists were doing much better financially at the peak of piracy than they are currently.
