Poll Digital Streaming

[Goldie]

We all know, after Napster and other free downloading services the music industry changed completely and became less profitable, sales went down dramatically, etc.

Now with streaming services like Tidal, Apple and Spotify the numbers are getting closer to what they used to be.

Currently 1500 streams = 1 album sale.

I've seen people say "that's cheating" and it the amount of streams to equate to 1 sale should be higher.

I've also heard people like Jada in this interview say that the number should be lower and it's like new age slavery:

Video is set to start at the mark he says it:




Do you feel it's cheating and the number should be higher?
Is it robbery and the number should be lowered?
or is it about right?​

1500 plays seems like a lot. Can't compare to someone actually going out and copping your album tho. No doubt the artist are getting fucked in some manner...

You can play the same song once a day for a full year and never hit 1500 plays...

Yea i think 1000 plays would be about right.

i'on know

if you got a hot song...15oo spins in an hr, every hr, is possible

when i first heard 4:44 (the song), i played it like 10x before i moved to family feud.

How many people just listen to "magnolia" by playboi carti and NOTHING else? 1500 aint hard to reach
