minus-square@Squids@sopuli.xyzlinkfedilinkEnglish2•2 years ago 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?
minus-squareEliselinkfedilinkEnglish2•2 years agoThe 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.
