They had both Ben & Jerry’s and Dunkin Donuts foodtrucks at this show last night, might’ve been the most Vermont thing I’ve ever witnessed.

I’m live in Lyndonville, VT next weekend for NVU’s annual GreggFest!🌲

Comin from T-shirt weather Tokyo where I can find the best meal of my life for $6, to 50 degree New England April..
Nah, mann. @knxwledge was right!

Drake could’ve easily live streamed all of this and monetized it himself. Instead, he’s letting the fans participate and create content from the roll out. This is a master class in promo, it’s as much marketing as it is performance art.

Drakes ICEMAN structure is officially a Fortnite event, fans have brought out the pickaxes and sledgehammers 😭

This is such bullshit.
$350/yr is 35 physical album sales, that's the whole model that is now being pushed, why are streams even mentioned?
This is just another reason for business people to take a % from artists as opposed to charging a flat fee. It's arguably worse than the old record label model because back then the value was higher and labels had connections with media, radio, etc that could not be accessed by an independent artist.
Everything this platform offers can EASILY be accessed by an artist.

No gotcha taken, this is exactly the conversation worth having. Most artists never make a dollar from streaming. So asking them to spend hundreds to thousands to go direct-to-consumer can be a lot to ask. That's why EVEN is free. No subscription, no hosting. Shopify runs $350/yr on the annual plan. An artist needs about 100K streams to cover that, and if they want Billboard chart eligibility, they're paying extra through third-party apps. We only make money when you make money. Helping an artist make $100 and us making $20 feels better to us than an artist paying $350 a year while only earning $100. Our 20% covers payment processing, currency conversion in 140+ currencies, auto-payouts to PROs + the MLC, marketing resources and assets, 100% of customer support, and Fan Connect (SMS and email to your fans, built in). The people who wrote the song get paid. Would love to show you what we're building. Happy to walk you through it.

this isn’t a gotcha, just somethin that’s been confusing for me to watch but paying 20% on all revenue for y’all to host an artists work that their fans can buy is indirect to consumer, not direct to consumer lol
direct to consumer means no middleman. y’all are the middleman and take 20% for it. Shopify is like $39/mo + 3% per sale. a domain is like $15/yr.
basically an artist can bypass this and get a website and sell directly to their fans
just food for thought

You made the song. You made the video. You built the fanbase. Someone else is collecting most of the money. That's the problem D2C solves.

I’m just out here for the onigiri, the rest is extracurricular

@RoomsReport @BrianZisook I’d argue it’s even sustain vs. scale
English
Build a team. You need a team. Not having a team isn’t a strategy. It’s dysfunction.

SINN6R says he has no manager and no tour manager either Is this the new strategy for upcoming rappers?

@layzeelolita Demon Slayer.
Finished it, but I was mad the whole time.

What anime did you initially start watching but couldn’t finish it because it was bad.
English
@BrianZisook I think the implication is they're booking 400 cap venues, not selling them out.
Plenty of artists leverage their monthly listeners for opportunities way above their real-world weight class — often for optics I imagine.
English
Monthly listeners and IG followers don’t measure fandom.
If an artist can sell out 400-cap venues, they have actual, real-world, paying fans.
And if they can achieve hard ticket sales without a large social following, even more impressive.
Tell a friend.

seeing an artist with 400k monthly but not even 5k on instagram & doing 400 cap venues
