    1000 streams is not a lot. your neighbor making butt rock in his living room for shits and giggles could get 1000 streams on spotify

    and streaming is not a way to get paid its a way to get fans to pay for your stuff, like shows and merch and cds and vinyl

      It is when there is then hundred thousands of artists and millions of songs . Algorithms being biased towards big artists and most people just listening to the same 10 popular artists.

      It doesn’t matter if the biggest share of revenus is from sows , artists made an effort and made music , it should be paid that’s all

          It is a lot based on the industry saturation . It is unfair , it is stealing money from smaller artists to give more to already huge artists and major labels
