Thomas Dugaro<p>Bei kaum etwas stehe ich so zwischen den Stühlen wie bei <a href="https://dju.social/tags/Spotify" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Spotify</span></a>. Für mich als Musik-Nerd, der ein Leben damit verbringen könnte, nach neuer Musik zu suchen, ist es das Paradies. Gibt's da alles? Nein, aber fast. Die Software ist zudem wirklich gut gemacht, und so wie wir es nutzen, ist die Nutzung spottbillig.<br>Aber:<br>Ein Künstler braucht ungefähr 4 Streams, um einen einzigen Cent zu verdienen. Wenn 100.000 Menschen (3 volle Stadien) einen Song hören und lieben, verdient man weniger als 300 Euro</p>
