@rogermontgomery: DSPs benefit from every artist on their platform. Even an independent artist doing a few dollars a month contributes to the massive amount of music consumption that keeps these platforms running.

I think it would be dope if there was a platform where artists set their own price/per stream that comes out of a monthly payment with the option to buy/download cause everybody don't like downloading a song(s) to their phone n having to leave a streaming platform for that 1 song & return back.

You don’t yet have a sufficiently large direct fanbase for scarcity to work in your favor. Tupac/Biggie is a misleading comparison because an established superstar can tell millions of existing fans, “Come find me somewhere else.” A developing artist needs to reduce friction while people are still discovering them.

Can’t work like this bro. You gotta find a way to make money from your music outside of streaming. Your fans deserve to be able to check you out on the popular platforms. We should turn to the platforms for adjusted benefits

Everything you have said bro is 💯, but it works better when you have established yourself and have a loyal following. Most of us don't have that yet.

This only works for big artists, the small ones still need the visibility those platforms could give them

so i should move to band camp or tidal and charge directly for one time payment rather than banking on building revenue through streams for Pennies?
