medjuck Posted June 18, 2020 Report Share Posted June 18, 2020 This is probably a stupid idea given how little artists and composers are paid for being played on Spotify but could we help artists we like by keeping Spotify playing their works constantly whether or not we're present to hear them?

jcam_44 Posted June 19, 2020 Report Share Posted June 19, 2020 (edited) Math for fun! It appears spotify pays $.006 to $.0084 So a 3 mins song on continuous look without interruption it would provide $1.44 to $2.16 a day and $526 to $736 year in royalties. Now I'm thinking if you made a 10 second song and played that continuously could you cheat the system. I wonder there is a minimum time for royalties. I don't think so.

medjuck Posted June 19, 2020 Author Report Share Posted June 19, 2020 And if ten people did it...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcam_44 Posted June 20, 2020 Report Share Posted June 20, 2020 The electricity to operate a desktop based on SCE tier one rates for a whole year would cost you about $215 - $250. The actually consumption of a pc was all over the place based on what I was looking at so this is just an estimate using SCE $.18/kwh rate. Though I think its $.187 but didn't feel like pulling out my bill.
