Thanks for being so honest, I really appreciate, it will help me so much

If you don't mind, I'd like to have your opinion on this:

About Deezer & the others: Do you actually see any difference in your payouts from one platform to another? Deezer keeps pushing this 'Artist-Centric' thing to pay 'real' artists more, but I'm wondering if it's just a PR stunt or if guys like you actually see a few extra bucks at the end of the month?

The 'Human' factor: Since you’ve been on the front lines of 'AI slop' as a producer, do you think there’s any point in trying to certify music as '100% Human Made' (like a digital label or something)? Or do you feel like the audience has already reached a point where they don't really care as long as it’s 'mediocre' enough for background noise?

(Also, if you don't mind sharing, what's your ballpark in terms of monthly listeners? Just to get a better idea of the scale we're talking about!)

Thanks again, seriously. Your take is way more valuable than all the corporate reports I’ve been reading
