Challenges with Streaming Platforms

For years, musicians received payment for their recordings. The advent of streaming services has dramatically changed this model. Today, these platforms pay artists only a fraction of a penny—specifically, one third of a cent—for each stream, all while collecting monthly subscription fees from their users. The profits generated are rarely shared with artists, even though the platforms rely on their music to attract and retain subscribers.

Buyers are directed to the artist’s own website via links accessible on their devices.
