@lislegaard hopefully the answer is decentralization, more drm free content on indie websites, and direct to creator revenue. So much of the current ecosystem is based around the presumption of “protecting” revenue (from piracy, misattribution, etc.) but if 95% is going to the middlemen, how much is actually being protected? I’d rather build a better experience for my fans and make providing support as frictionless as possible.

@lislegaard It makes no sense that the percentage of revenue should change based on the popularity of a particular artist. I think all companies should be transparent about their revenue split, and whenever they aren’t, I presume it’s malicious.
