The internet doesn't tend to like to pay the actual cost for things. You'll find very little sympathy for paid services, especially here on Lemmy.

Yes but we do agree with fair pay

Tidal has the highest artist payouts typically, besides YouTube I believe.

Make your choices ppl.

those choices of the minority won't matter in the long run when the other service is cheaper and has the fatter marketing budget.

just look at the refusal of normies to adopt something like mastodon just because you need a couple extra steps.

Is that for youtube videos not youtube music? Pretty sure YT music pays less than spotify by a wide margin.

Found a handy little Music Streaming Royalties Calculator thing in this article. It's not 100% accurate because none of the services pay the same rate for every song, but it shows how huge the payout discrepancies are.

Is there objective way to define what is fair? Otherwise words "fair pay" make 0 sense

[-] And009@reddthat.com 0 points 1 year ago

True it's probably going to become an outdated concept and what is really needed would be an universal basic income

Can get fair pay if the customers aren't paying
