The way streaming pays artists today is built to serve everyone except the people making the music.
Payments are slow, the economics heavily favor the biggest players, and most artists sit at the end of a chain that extracts value long before they see it.
With Lightning and Value for Value, something different is starting to take shape.

Streaming was supposed to democratize music. Instead, it locked creators into a new hierarchy.
You donβt own your audience. You donβt own your data. And unless you're in the top 1%, you barely own your income.
But it doesnβt have to be this way.
