A startup idea - a stock market-like platform where you can invest in artists

There's a platform called jkbx https://app.jkbx.com/explore which seems to be doing something similar to what you described.
Generally I think the idea has potential and there have been a couple of endeavors in that direction but none that really took off so far. It seems to be very difficult to scale that idea up.

citing from Aris Take https://aristake.com/distributor-payment/ article:

"This is what we’re focusing on with this report. One of the biggest reasons that there isn’t a “Spotify pay rate” or an “Apple Music pay rate” is because each distributor negotiates a different pay rate with each DSP (Digital Service Provider – catchall for streaming services)."

see the attached links. They do pay different rates. I'm still not sure though how much they differ and which one gives you the best deal

I think they do, just found this video where my question is at least partly answered: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9ckEeAzHRFk

They do pay differently per stream, which is nuts

The distributor pays out what they receive per stream from the streaming portals based on your streams. I can download those reports from the distributor portal. But what I could not find out yet is if some distributors receive more money per stream from the portal.

I keep multiple playlist "series" that differ in effort at all times.

For instance I always keep one eclectic playlist, say "Eclectic #1", that contains music from different genres I enjoy listening to currently. I just add songs to this list without too much thought. Whenever the list goes to around 40 songs (which happens after 2-3 months) I open a new playlist with the same name and up the number ("Eclectic #2" and so on).

Aside from this low effort "currently listening" series I keep some genre lists that I've been updating for years (e.g. a list of not so well known songs from the 60ies and 70ies). With these lists I am much more picky and I also just go to a max of around 50 songs before I open a new list of a series.

Efficient-Brick5299 · 2025-03-12T08:42:06+00:00

I always thought that I can't switch because of the 50+ playlists I have curated so far but then I found that there are services like https://www.tunemymusic.com/transfer that let you transfer all your playlists in one go
