But then it's like, none of the consumers want to experience more ads, right? They don't want ads on their music. Or it's like, you could... increase the subscription price to increase the payout price, but then that's more burden on the consumer.

Or is it like you could lower the quality of the products and make it have less editors and have less data centers to make how fast it is and to lower the cost of production. So that there's more money in the pool, right? Like, like that was like, what is interesting is like, I kept trying to like reflect on like, what is the solution?

And that I think is the real problem that no one is discussing is that it is a good thing that like 67 cents are going to the rights holders and the people who made the music and people want more. But that I'm not sure that comes from Spotify. Right. Like I'm not sure how making more ads makes that like a better experience or whatever. You know what I mean?

Yeah, it's ten times that.

Yeah, it's ten times that.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Right.

Right.

more than 10 million a year just from spotify a lot of them are generating way more than that and that's just spotify yeah and i also think it's important to realize that like streaming is not the only way an artist makes money no uh it's touring it's merchandise it's their brand whether you there are people like selena gomez who launched our own brands yeah a billion dollar brand yeah exactly like it you know but again like when you hear these like anecdotal pieces of information

It's also weird to me how they'll notoriously be like, this is how much money I made on blank company. And I'm like, okay, well, your music streaming is on 10 different things. You know what I mean? It'd be like me saying, this is how much I make for my podcast, but only telling you Spotify. It's like, no, it's a YouTube video. Most people are watching it on YouTube. You know what I mean?

It's a misrepresentation, I think, of the information and the way... Not that I think they're doing that on purpose, but it's like the way a consumer hears it. You know, like I would never tell somebody like this is how much I do this, how many views I got and like only be reflective of like one of the four out of five or four or five places that this is posted to.

It's just like not an accurate representation.
