I can't even

frankly, I'm shocked that the guy who went broke running casinos would turn out to be shit at running an economy

Under the new partnership, both companies will attempt to eliminate monetization opportunities for pages with less than 1,000 monthly listeners and reallocate money from the general revenue pool to established artists, according to Route Note. This decision will also theoretically assist in Spotify's on-going issue of streaming fraud, where fake pages take money from the revenue pool through automated plays of AI-generated music.

This is beyond f**ked now.

Spotify was already pushing it with the whole "no pay-out for any song with less than 1,000 streams per year"

No pay-out for any artist with less than 1,000 monthly listeners is remarkably abusive and exploitative toward small artists

Introducing the completed fifty-second Starter Pack with all the bands, orchestras, choirs, independent labels, and musicians I can find on Blue Sky!

Please have a look, follow some or all of them, and share this pack here and in other places!

Super ridiculous.

The Spotify For Artists resource page still only mentions the annual requirement as the official payout.

Sadly, if the monthly part is true and not just speculation, I wouldn't be surprised. Which is bullshit that it wouldn't be too farfetched lol

Typo--12 months, not 13.

I think they implemented that back in early 2024. You need 1,000 streams in the previous 13 months to qualify (so not 1,000 lifetime if it's been released more than 1 year).

Ugh. Spotify continues to step on the small folk.

What part of ToS did you even "break" by making a playlist? That's nuts.

If shitbag Rudy Giuliani would stop robo-texting me begging for money, that'd be great.

Happy New Year, Bluesky and friends!

Too often.

I'd like to add more #IndieMusic to my new #SpotifyPlaylist... Anybody have some new #IndieRock music releases??

Post your Spotify links in comments... I'll also add you to my starter pack. ❤️🤘

I don't know the source of this meme, but the use of STARCHING to describe the assault slays me

It's more than ok! Thank you for your kind words, and even more so for supporting small artists 🤘🤘🤘
