Yeah that is true from a monetary perspective. But even then, if people would rather listen to white noise then I guess that’s just how it is. Greedy people will be greedy tho.
I can understand, though, that someone who actually puts effort into producing music is kind of pissed if someone who simply uploads noise gets as much money per stream.
If someone is genuinely mad that people would rather listen to white noise than their music then they should start working on making something better than white noise
Exactly the point, any artist with actual talent wouldn’t and shouldn’t be concerned about someone making white noise. If they did, they are just pumping trash to make money and are not that different from what they hate.
You don’t seem to understand how Spotify works. There’s a fixed cake size that then gets shared between artists. If someone is just using Spotify as an overnight noise generator, the generator artist essentially siphons money away from actual artists.
It’s perfectly understandable that artists don’t like that. Especially given the already very low Spotify payouts.
I really don’t get this weirdly hostile stance here. Is gaming a system now somehow a noble act in itself? The same people who grin at the stoopid artist peoples here will become furious when Amazon uses perfectly legal tax evasion tactics. But that’s of course something completely different, because suddenly you are a victim.
No? Ik limited customer base means their usage would be split but the people on white noise podcasts aren’t looking for music. If there weren’t any they would go to youtube not for other music. People listen to white noise because it’s white noise, not actual songs. And the examples you provide are completely missing the point. I am not saying it’s something to be proud but to cut them off cause you think they are making easy money is definitely not something to be proud of either. This sort of thinking is simply corporate greed, that’s why I am opposed to it. The only reason I can see someone would be mad about is jealousy.

It’s not a competition for airtime, but a competition for money.
