Re: My Song Was Played 3.1 Million Times on Pandora. My Check Was $39...
I also think we shouldn't lump Pandora
and Spotify together. I agree that the business model for Spotify is sketchy
and they need to figure out a better way to compensate artists, but Pandora
really is a very different business model. It exposes people to new music, but
doesn't give them the option of hearing that music whenever they want.
Listeners will then find a way to listen to that song whenever they want by
(hopefully) buying the song or paying for a subscription service. Spotify is
hard to swallow because it takes away sales and also pays poorly. Pandora may
pay poorly, but it doesnt take away sales in the way that Spotify does. I may
just be making an assumption based on how me and my friends/colleagues use
Pandora, but it really seems like Pandora is simply an additional money
generator for artists.
