    Mad respect for your success. I can't believe you only got $8,000 out of it. The CEO of Spotify said recently that if artists wanted to make more money they have to "churn out more music". Clearly there's a disconnect between the people who make the music and the people who exploit musicians.

    You may not understand how money works. Spotify charges like 10/15/20$ per person to subscribe. What if I listen to 5000 songs per month? How much should the artists get per stream? $1? So Spotify has to pay to cover my usage?

    The commission rates from most streaming platforms are laughable and ridiculously low. It really needs to be regulated by law. 0.0035% for the artist? Plus additional 30-50% is often taken by a record label/company if the artist is signed. Only major artists can take any meaningful slice from that pie providing they generate streams in millions. Independent artists do not make any money at all except pocket money if they are lucky / if they have good catchy music. It's a broken system that kills art.
