what if there was a youtube but for audio? people make channels with ads turned on, but the website gets partial ad revenue and the artists get the rest?

why wouldn't this work?

anyone have any better ideas?

can anyone explain why we even need record labels anymore please?

it seems that with the internet and independent artists and entrepreneurship we can do solo everything that a record label would have done before online marketing was a thing??

Soundcloud is BS. Just let people die. Natural Selection. It's like PEMDAS.

Isn't that what soundcloud is?

then what do you suggest people use?
bandcamp?

?

i don't understand how soundcloud monetization works, but the artists probably aren't making any money off of it, it's poorly structured, and there's a lot of incentive to post low quality shitty rip offs of other artists and generally garbage and bland material

i don't know if there's a way to discourage that though

you just described bandcamp no?

i don't use bandcamp, I don't know how the monetization works


is there anyone under the age of 27 who knows about internet marketing, digital distribution, alternative economies or crowd funding on here?

if you're older than 27 you're probably dead inside and corrupt so i don't want to hear your opinion.
