Скачать или смотреть Forget Spotify—Here’s How Indie Artists Can Get Paid FOR REAL

In this passionate segment of The Indie Unplugged, B. Vaughan and Brian Onrea dig deep into the broken economics of streaming—and offer real solutions for independent artists. Tired of fractions of a penny from Spotify and Apple Music? The hosts make the case for building direct-to-fan platforms: stream your catalog from your own website, launch a $5/month Patreon, or even use Stripe and Substack to bypass the gatekeepers.

But it doesn’t stop there. They warn about the rise of AI-generated artists and how platforms like Spotify may be complicit in pushing this content over real human creativity. Instead of whining, the team encourages creators to highlight authentic voices, fight for AI labeling standards, and support each other through sustainable, community-first models. And yes—stop feeding culture-vulture media outlets that don’t serve the culture. You want better? Start building it.
