The way streaming pays artists today is built to serve everyone except the people making the music. Payments are slow, the economics heavily favor the biggest players, and most artists sit at the end of a chain that extracts value long before they see it. With Lightning and Value for Value, something different is starting to take shape. Article by @Theo | Fountain.fm 📖 View article →

Streaming was supposed to democratize music. Instead, it locked creators into a new hierarchy. You don’t own your audience. You don’t own your data. And unless you're in the top 1%, you barely own your income. But it doesn’t have to be this way. Article by @Theo | Fountain.fm 📖 View article →
