Drake references Russ posting his publishing checks online that he received from TuneCore, on his new song, “ASTALAVISTA”
“And people are overly invested in what happens to Drake, but nobody invested like us. The way things are going up, I might start posting all of my publishing checks like Russ.”

I hear yall. But streaming is low friction and buying is high friction, so if an artist can’t generate streams, they’re unlikely to generate purchases either. Yall are essentially charging 20% for infrastructure that becomes cheap and fully ownable once you scale, which means it can be useful early on to help artists monetize faster, but quickly becomes economically inefficient as soon as an artist has enough money to host their own domain and sell their music directly to their fans without giving someone 20%. I appreciate the willingness to have a public convo about this though. I think it’s helpful for artists

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.
