The Music Platform That Pays 1 Cent Per Stream

Hey SCS fam, This episode is a little different as we sat down with Tim Quirk from Zedge to speak about the value of music. We explored the broken streaming economy, the 3% rule that actually drives music revenue, and how platforms like Tapedeck are trying to reimagine artist compensation with one cent per stream minimums. Tim shares decades of industry experience from Rhapsody to Google Play, revealing how mobile gaming monetization models could revolutionize how musicians get paid. We discuss alternatives to Spotify, the Bandcamp model, and why your true fans matter more than mainstream reach.
