Comment on Spotify Music Library Scraped by Pirate Activist Group
partofthevoice@lemmy.zip 1 week agoRandom idea: do you think a platform for crowd sourcing / funding ideas could go well for musicians? Like a feature request in software, where users can like a post about a feature to show interest, except it would use dollars instead of likes. Fans could publish an idea for a song they like and donate $5 or whatever. If it’s a popular idea, more people donate to it and the artist takes notice (having now been somewhat paid to produce it).

i’m a musician and i don’t really like the idea of Cameo-ing music. Also, $5 is not nearly enough.

Well, if it stays at $5 then it’s probably not a popular idea. If 1000 people like the idea and each put $5, now we’re talking $5k. Still probably not quite enough, but it is producing income via a novel way of getting in touch with the audience.
