    And how much of that hypothetical $13 Trillion would be shared the poor, poor artists?

      When this whole thing with Lily Allen was a thing, where she got more from posting feet pic on OnlyFans than from Spotify, someone posted an article that said Spotify is paying out like 150k-200k per month just for her streams. And yet only a tiny fraction of that ends up with her. Music labels fucking suck.

      There are 15.43 million artist on spotify, so they’d get about $836,000 each.

        Less Spotify’s share, and the record label’s share, and the lawyer’s share…and of course they’d give the artists with the most streams a bigger share (they’re the ones with the labels who get a big cut).

        So about tree fiddy.

      Wouldn’t that be somewhere along the lines of $1000 per person, if divided over every single person in the world?
