FYI no streaming service pays more than US $0.01 per stream. And that’s at the very top end, with a premium paying customer in a premium market.
I found this article explaining how streams are calculated helpful: https://soundcharts.com/blog/music-streaming-rates-payouts
Lots of variables like country, service tier, content pool & user engagement factor in, making the "average" per stream unpredictable.
Tidal & Qobuz pay more per stream b/c they have less streams overall--making every stream more valuable. 1/
I've asked this before and don't think there was as much up and running at that point, but are there any great existing #PeerTube platforms for hosting #MusicVideos (and related puppet vids) that also give the option to embed privately or "unlisted"?
I currently pay a Vimeo subscription to have no ads and privacy settings on certain playlists, but I'd prefer to put those funds into more recording time and the videos themselves. Any suggestions? 🙃 #FediMusic#Musodon#DIYMusic#Music#Musician
@LucaManciniDrummer Hello! Yes, that's one thing I'd like to do (having space to upload larger videos and no ad presence are other factors and I pay to do that through Vimeo currently), but I'm just at a loss with what instance to join and wondered if there was an existing community of Fediverse folks already on there that I might've missed? I still have YouTube and don't mind using that for a lot of things, but for private/unlisted stuff and specific videos, the ads are kind of intrusive.
@LucaManciniDrummer No worries, I didn't explain it too well! Yes, that's a good summary of what I'm trying to do. For instance, I share some vids with a small group of people on my site (both music vids and longer "episodes" of things) and it would be good if I could do some of that outside of YouTube infrastructure. This has just popped up from @freebliss and looks like it be onto something (as long as there is an upload guide for dummies like myself). 🙃 https://simonrepp.com/hyper8/
@axwax I love the bench chatters! Maybe if enough folks contribute some scarecrow pics, we could make a bot that posts amazing scarecrow festival pictures. 😂
On the eve of #FairtradeMusic Friday, I present puppet jealousy and scandal for those who may have been too afraid to watch before (💥 📞 ), plus some of my online homes.
