This week, I welcome data analyst and musician Chris Dalla Riva to the show. It's a fascinating discussion with someone who has a truly unique perspective on digital streaming.
This was a fascinating conversation! I was especially perturbed about the payment algorithm models. I rarely listen to music on Spotify, mostly podcasts. So, my membership fees are being divided up on a percentage basis with the most successful artists on the platform, NONE OF WHOM I LISTEN TO! I would much prefer the model where my money id divided up proportionally among the artists that I do listen to! The concert analogy really brought this home for me! THIS HAS TO BE FIXED!
Glad you enjoyed this, Barry. It's maddening system that gets worse the more we learn about it. This needs a major overhaul right away. I would be surprised to see substantive change on this issue without federal legislation.
