I’ve recently been made aware of the non-sustainable business of Spotify (and other streaming services) https://youtu.be/gDfNRWsMRsU .
I think the best solution for all parties would be a federated streaming service. Instances could be hosted by record labels or indi-Artists. Of course there needs to be a fair donation/subscription. (Maybe similar to Patreon - get some extra goodies for supporting your artist directly)
Does something similar exist already? I would rather put my money somewhere where small artists are actually paid fairly for their work. (And put my own works there as well)
Thanks for reading :) I wish you a very pleasant day and I’m looking forward for your input.

We have Funkwhale on the Fediverse. https://open.audio/ is the biggest instance I think.
I looked at it, but got kinda confused. The instance I logged in didn’t seem to share any music with other instances.
