    Yo check it out I'm working on my next album

    That's actually what I was wondering. Definitely took some serious oldschool nightmare of coding.

    Spotify royalties... the ugly truth.

    @Earsblower I'm not entirely sure how things work anymore but based on my old knowledge... Streaming platforms should be having to pay a fee to collection agencies, and the agencies then pay the royalties to the artist. So if you were streaming your own music I don't believe you would make...

    Battle That! Competition - September 11-14, 2024

    I started making a beat with the very first sound I made sounding like "yeah this is a tough battle type beat" then somehow immediately became more chill and whatnot. Gonna have to reattempt. Working on beat 2 but beat 1 ain't complete yet. Feel like potentially best stuff I've made in a...

    @Fade This could be a cool battle concept if workable - similar to your Warzone idea... it would last over several days, beats with the fewest votes are eliminated daily, then votes can be reallocated on following days, repeat until the last 3 beats, (ideally people would vote, and if the...

    Spotify royalties... the ugly truth.

    An aspect of it would require part of this, yes. But it would make a return to being more like buying albums or singles. And the money thus going directly to artist. Not collected and distributed. Or it could just be a solo thing I do myself for my own fans (once I get them)

    Spotify royalties... the ugly truth.

    yeah thing about my concept is a little different from merely sale of the file/album. Quite a cool idea but I don't want to say too much about in case it is a reaaally cool idea and someone executes it first ha.

    Spotify royalties... the ugly truth.

    Yeah ridiculous. Which genuinely, I think the best revenue would be direct-to-fan. I have an idea of how I would do that --- but first would require you having a fan base. I could turn the idea into an app. Would work great if artists turned away future work from the streaming platforms and...

    Spotify royalties... the ugly truth.

    It's the under 45k for over a billion streams. That's ridiculous. On radio that would be serioussss money if that was the equivalent in plays. Streaming, with such a broad reach, and so much opportunity for ad revenue and whatnot, and how in fact it's also paid and subscription, it should be...

    Is this a theme, or like, a new battle concept? Entrants need to maintain a certain level of votes by the end of 3 days to live.

    Quality vs Quantity

    Me personally (technically I'm doing nothing), but I go for quality. Honestly, fuck the algorithm and fuck the content creation culture. Content creation is largely just serving the platforms and owners, not yourself as a creative. Do you want to be part of the churning out of shit, making...
