I wonder how much her record label makes from her music on Spotify...

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 5 points 2 hours ago

I'm not a huge Lily Allen fan, but her first album was incredible.

Reek

(played by Alfie Allen)

Lily's song Alfie is about him.

Perhaps this just means people value her feet more than music? I'm not into feet, but I really didn't like her music, so maybe this is reasonable.

[–] meowMix2525@lemm.ee 16 points 3 hours ago

Not really. It just means onlyfans pays more than Spotify... which seems obvious to me??? A direct subscription to an artist vs only a few cents per play... yeah, no brainer, the artist is going to make less money in the latter deal.

Good for her. If I thought there was a market for my disgusting claws I'd sell feet pics too.

Be the change you want to see in this world.

Something I've noticed in British media as of late is that OnlyFans makes some serious money - enough so that a creator can essentially use local journalism as an outlet for promoting their page.

I doubt some of the figures, but if you were to dig into them you'd probably see that number after the media have basically told people "look! Lily Allen has OnlyFans!"

Alongside that, funny enough, OnlyFans is probably one of the UK's biggest tech success stories. They make a lot of money, have only a few employees, and are basically leaders in their field. That's probably another weighing towards this being a promo piece.

[–] IndustryStandard@lemmy.world 7 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

Do they make that much? I read only top creators do. Especially those who are already famous from other fields.

[–] Letstakealook@lemm.ee 14 points 6 hours ago

The previous commenter is saying that the company makes serious money.

Seeing how this thread is full of hate for Spotify by seeming large number of people who are fans of streaming music/podcast services, I'll pos this question here:

What are the better alternatives for someone seeking to get their favored audios, in terms of library selection, able to form custom playlists and how much if any support to the artist/content creator actually gets to them and what is pocketed by the app?

[–] polographer@lemm.ee 2 points 2 hours ago

Go to their concerts, buy the official merchandise and get CD’s or pay the whole albums like on qobuz (they also have streaming, but they sell hi-res flac)

Streaming is not designed to benefit the artist

[–] kerrigan778@lemmy.world 3 points 4 hours ago

Tidal, or buy albums and self host if you're up for it but I feel like that's not a real option for most.

[–] flamingo_pinyata@sopuli.xyz 12 points 8 hours ago

I don't think there's all-in-one best option

library size

Deezer

how much is paid to the creator

Bandcamp
