Spotify raped musicians, just to turn around and give podcasters all the money

I think this is what he’s talking about

43 million Pandora streams of "Happy" earned Pharrell Williams a measly $2,700

Preciate the link. Diff song diff streaming service

Pandora is fundamentally different than spotify even though they are both streaming services.
There is a good podcast on spotify and how it works from freakonomics.

They do pay musicians, i'm not sure where this notion is coming from that they dont.

What's scary is that pandora actually pays artist MORE per stream than Spotify does.

How Many Music Streams Does it Take to Earn a Dollar?

Nothing stopping artists from creating their own podcast and it goes Spotify -> Labels -> Artist, if you want your music to be exclusive to one service for a bag, be independent and sign a contract cause you damn sure won't be able to do it with a label.

 

[Ezekiel 25:17]

Most musicians are idiots who don't care to read a contract or can't read it

Think big business won't take advantage of you musicehs

 

[GreenGhxst]

its more ad revenue when you're putting out a 2+ hour podcast weekly.... versus a 40 minute long album every 10 months

 

[The_Sheff]

This a dumb ass take. Like other posters said, sign exclusive to Spotify and you will get a check but will that one check make up for not being on other platforms. I'm sure someone has done that math.

Another point, if people are watching Rob's show on MTV they aren't watching a show on another network. Therefore MTV is missing out on revenue. If you don't listen to one artist on Spotify but are listening to another, Spotify is still getting paid.

 

[DapMeUp!]

None of them artists sign deals directly with Spotify.

you'd never expect these artist to be poor with the way they seem to always flaunt their wealth in music videos

not worried about em

Crazy how artist gonna look rich on video so people will give them money

 

[Greenhornet]

put it this way we can use Prince as an example
but substitue him for 2pac, Drake, Biggie, Jay, Nas etc if you want


Prince died with 250million after performing and dropping 20+ albums and doing blockbuster concerts, movies and events

If a podcast that gets a mill or less views an episode gets 100 million for a few years

and you only got 250 mill for nearly 50 years

It’s for show man, for their Character. bytch ass John wasn’t a tuff guy for real but cacs thought so. Pay them folks!

 

[gho3st]

But the labels do get the money. The thing these artists forget is that podcasters own their content

It‘s apples to oranges. Joe Rogan has a listening base that most musicians can’t really compare to. More so, he is constantly producing new content. It’s not one album every 6 months, it’s new content every week. Also, this is an exclusivity deal meaning that the only place you can listen to Joe Rogan’s podcast is on Spotify. Music is ubiquitous. Most artists don’t even control their own music. With a podcast all you need is a mike and an instrument stream. You can have all the other bells and whistles buts not necessary. So they 100% control their shyt. The only way the comparison makes sense if you don’t actually think about it.
