Ether DiverSpotify to raise prices, then pay musicians even less.
If your music is on Spotify, why? Are you so successful that you enjoy subsidizing Spotify executives' extravagant lifestyles?
David Cantrell 🏏@etherdiver I’ve never used Spotify but my understanding is that it’s more like radio than buying music, and that the payouts were similar to radio too. Am I wrong?
@DrHyde I don't think they're directly comparable, and no, the radio is required to pay mechanical royalties on all the music it plays, not pick and choose who gets paid.
Also radio is kind of a ripoff for most musicians too ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
