I'll bite! Let's say i have recreated spotify for the v4v artist. What do i do next? Get people to subscribe on it, or find music for the subscribers to listen to? Now of course, many musicians have less say about all this than their label. I believe this is part of the root cause: the contemporary licensing models are simply in favor of major labels.

In my mind the listener simply pays their monthly subscription in fiat and the app/platform pays the artists per stream using their RSS value block, like a fairer version of Spotify. It's just to eliminate that hurdle of "how to I get these sats things" for onloading. A larger listener base (and getting them paid more per stream) should help lure the artists. Just ideas.
