So, let's say it's 1975 and streaming didn't exist, you would be more "visible" than you are now?”

“Without question.”
His ignored Rykodisc cee dee was released pre-streaming. There’s no way that shit would be in print now. He’s fortunate that streaming income exists and that ANYONE cares enough to listen.
Dude will not stop shaming (normal) people who stream music.
Notice how artists who aren’t past their sell by date have stopped complaining about streaming?
Sane people realize that instead of buying something once, if people connect with your music they keep listening. And they come to concerts and buy merch. Wash rinse repeat. This shit isn’t rocket science.
Yet people who directly challenge him get their comments removed.

He might be a more self-righteous prick than Strat-Mangler.

“I don't need a royalty calculator. Inspired by this thread, I decided to look at my most recent royalty statement, which covers the 1st quarter of 2023. Between January and March of this year, my two most-streamed songs were played 12,553 and 8,779 times. For the first, I received the tidy sum of $4.39. For the second, $1.93.” Of course he’s also lying about his streaming numbers. No one is getting that many plays from 56 monthly users.  |

Yeah, that’s a solid lineup.
One would think that having something like this happen as a tribute to your work would be enough to stop whinging about something that’s never gonna change again (streaming)

He's a decent musician and songwriter. I just hate the way he shits on people who don't agree with him.

Yeah it’s a shitty look. Shawn is right on that thread; we should be thankful as musicians that anyone listens.
If it wasn’t for streaming, one of the bands I’m in (that doesn’t tour) wouldn’t be able to sell 500 or so records thanks to folks who listen and buy the vinyl.

Oh wow didn't know that guy was James Toth from Wooden Wand. He's done some good stuff over the years. More than most of the fuckheads on SHF, even if he hasn't been well paid for it.

This guy’s on another planet, suggesting artists should receive a nickle for each song stream. In fact he said imagine if it were ONLY a nickle. Every streaming service would be bankrupt in an hour.

What a brilliant take on the new Andre 3000 album
“ No dog in this fight and I probably won't go out of my way to hear this, but I don't need to hear it to say that comparing this sort of vanity project to Aphex Twin or In A Silent Way is utter blasphemy.”
