what’s going to keep people on your platform podcast or music?

no one is listening to a podcasters catalogue

I bet podcast listernship is down significantly during the quarantine
its not about the listener , its how the numbers breakdown. artist getting 5-20 percent of publishing . then with streaming its even less

LoL @ thinking Rogan is going to pay artists to come on his show. Dude is a monster in the podcast game with a massive following. If anything folks will pay him to go on just for the exposure.

That aside, Rogan owns the production company, the IP, everything. He's the label, and the talent. How many artists are in that position?

i wholeheartedly disagree with this take and would love to see the numbers to back it up.

The one raping musicians is and has always been the record companies.

And if you include indie musicians in this, spotify has given them a lifeline that did not even exist in the 90s.

Nah i think this is a trash take but i gotta see the numbers first
As a music producer i can firmly tell you spottily does rape musicians, it has a pretty trash payout

all of these record companies are about go public because they need money.

music publishing only takes you so far these days

the music doesn't matter only the distribution does
TV, Movies, Ads, Marketing, Stadium. Sync licensing pays 3x than radio ever will.

Nah fam, these streaming rates apply to both indie and major label artist and they are effing rip offs. Hell Pharrell broke sales records in streaming with Blurred Lines and only got a 2500 dollar check for being a songwriter. Musicians power Spotify. THe INTERNET gave us a platform. Spotify is just one of many options we have. It's not the best but it's one of the most popular hence it's reputation and money. But the streaming game is fukked up financially for all artist. Most make their bread from shows and placements
When he's right he's right!
