"You get paid based on your dedicated fans’ actual listening habits. The more fans listen on SoundCloud, and listen to your music, the more you get paid."

SoundCloud is basically a label/full on streaming service now

didn’t spotify try some s*** like this last year

i think the whole point is for smaller scale artists to make more than they do on Spotify/Apple

The f*** does this even mean
Just pay artist more per song listen

gonna give 200 bucks to someone with a snippet recorded over their phone

Deadass but this does have my attention. Gonna give it a month and see how it works out. Been anti putting my music on SoundCloud for the longest but if they actually tryna get us paid..

Sounds better on paper but theres always some bs hidden between the lines.

Either way as an artist u already know this ain't the idealized way to make money from your art. Merch, shows, features, etc is how you gotta get it these days.

since its based on people’s listening time, i think they are tryna weed out botted play counts

There to late

Soundcloud paying them minimum wage

Yes.

Although, Xavier Wulf has stated in an interview that he was the first rapper on Soundcloud to get a check from them.

They're full on monetizing the platform, blatantly now

He would've made a good income from this payment plan because 2013-2016 he was on a goat run

THIS
ITS A GOOD THING!

ohhhh so it’s changing from paying based on play count to paying based on play time?

Yes and no

Ok and Cool

Wonder how song leaks and snippets will play out

F***, now I gotta pay for Soundcloud Pro

so should i start using soundcloud

That’s pretty much what they’re doing

all the 100 bots following my SoundCloud acc won
