    Fair compensation for who? Record labels who already rake in tons of money, or small artists that now need 1000 streams a year at minimum to get paid at all on a specific track?

      I’ve been making and distributing my own music for over 3 years, not only on Spotify, and JUST hit a total $26 I’ve made.

        What kind of music? And would you be willing to share, maybe DM it if you’re more comfortable

        With increasing the necessary streams to 1000 it will get better, since AI mass produced music won’t get any share anymore.

        I’ve had music on Spotify almost a decade now. Best it’s done was pay to keep it on Spotify. It won’t even be able to do that anymore.
