Independent Musicians on New Tech for Fairer Streaming Payouts

Independent musicians: How could new tech help create fairer streaming payouts? Hey all, I’ve been thinking a lot about how indie artists are compensated on major streaming platforms. Even musicians with thousands of streams often earn very little, which makes it tough to sustain a career without relying on live shows or merch. At the same time, technology is creating opportunities we haven’t had before. With cloud infrastructure and AI-assisted tools, it’s easier than ever to build scalable, artist-friendly platforms without massive budgets. I’d love to hear from the community about the following: How have streaming platforms impacted your income or reach as an independent musician. Is user centric payout an ideal solution? i. e. Customer subscribes to the service and listen to Artist A (50% of the time) and B (remaining 50%) only. Customer's subscription payment gets split equally among artist A and B as their payout. Platform itself is a non-profit.
