[–] Squids@sopuli.xyz 3 points 3 years ago (2 children) I know it sounds naive but honestly I just wish I could consume media and when I like it I can just send them some money without any hassle. So the artist gets a cut of every stream? Isn't that just Spotify's model, which is infamously kinda shit for the actual artists? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] xilliah@beehaw.org 3 points 3 years ago The artist can run their own website in this model. As long as it's easy for me to send money in whatever way I please, using my own program. permalink fedilink source parent [–] thystifi@lemmy.ca 2 points 3 years ago Spotify's model is basically how can we screw everyone, and keep the maximum for ourselves. Bandcamp is probably a better example, where artists actually get the bulk of the sales. permalink fedilink source parent
