This would mean something if anyone knew who she was as an artist

[-] MBM@lemmings.world 8 points 3 months ago

That's wild, I guess she was only popular in Europe? She had a bunch of big hits around 2010, like "Fuck You" which was about George Bush

I'm American and I knew about her. Smile was at least a modest hit.

I said above that the album that was on, Alright, Still, is a really good album.

Edit: from Wikipedia-

Alright, Still debuted at number 20 on the Billboard 200 in the United States, with first-week sales of 34,000 copies.[51] The Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) awarded the album a gold certification on 6 December 2007,[52] and by November 2013, it had sold 627,000 copies in the US.

That's a bit less than half of UK sales, which is pretty good for a British artist in the U.S.

Would it? Another way to word this might be "Platform with 8,000,000 monthly streamers/listeners pays less than platform of 1,000 subscribers to view pictures."

I don't think this individual's identity enters into it at all. That sentiment comes across as a deliberate, mean-spirited attempt to denigrate this person.

Whether or not selling pictures of one's anatomy is a viable career, or a morally questionable career, or any questions along these lines are a separate discussion. This article to me points out the drastic discrepancy in two services, yet again calling attention to the issue of artists and their earnings when utilizing Spotify as a distribution platform.

Joe Rogan took all of Spotify's money?

OnlyFans reportedly takes 20% of subscription revenue

That's a mobster-loanshark level cut.

[-] Evotech@lemmy.world 10 points 3 months ago

20% is considered low

All others take at least 30%

[-] Letstakealook@lemm.ee 6 points 3 months ago

Maybe. Without it, though, the individual would have to build and maintain a site, direct traffic there, and handle payments, as well still do all of the community management and content creation they already do. Now either they'd spend their own time doing this if they have the knowledge, or pay others, which might meet or exceed that 20% depending on their income level.

[-] TheFriar@lemm.ee 6 points 3 months ago

Doesn’t Spotify offer like .5%

My dumbass didn't think "damn Spotify doesn't pay artists"

Instead I immediately thought "damn more people are paying for their onlyfans than listening to their music"

I never considered myself to be a foot-fetish guy, but damn she does indeed have sexy feet
