I used a Norwegian open-source tool to analyze my old Spotify data as a customer.

I don't use Spotify anymore, but I can announce that of all the money I ever paid them, approx. 5% went to the artists I listened to.

That is a pretty insane transfer of wealth from the bottom / middle to the top if you ask me.

I already knew Spotify is a big scam for those not at the top, but seeing the numbers still gives me a bodily reaction. 😢

@lislegaard on podcast2.0 artist get 100%. unless of course they decide to programtically split 90-10 with say, the designer of the cover art. oh, and the cryptofascists from paypal or stripe? well they get jack shit!

@lislegaard it's also very pirate friendly: those who want to save the music to a local drive can inspect the xml file (it's all just RSS). but then again all of the (open source) apps have a button for that.

@lislegaard being able to save the music locally and share it with friends without caveats is probably the most interesting part of this branch of your thread. And no one is obliged to monetize: it's essentially gift-economy. the shocker is that a remarkable portion of people actually want to support art 💛

thanks for balling! ​​
