They give you a 16% royalty. They take a 20% distribution fee first. So a $100K marketing spend leaves you $13K. That $13K recoups against the $100K they spent. You're always in the red. By design. Own the math before you sign anything.

monoculture in the music business no longer exists. it’s a game of micro cultures. meaning stop tryna make the “biggest” song and start tryna make the most “you” song when you are being so specifically yourself, there will be a group of people who feel found by you

Paying a fixed percentage makes no sense regardless of the perks. It only makes sense paying a fixed fee.
For 15% of your royalties, a distributor should, at a minimum, provide: • A real human point of contact • Priority customer service • Dashboard access • On-time, transparent payments • Easy withdrawals • Editorial pitching support If you take a cut, you must add value.

I love watching a bunch of struggling indie artists arguing against a massively successful one about how to handle business correctly.
A $50 annual fee vs 15% of your entire catalog’s revenue are not remotely comparable. One is a fixed cost. The other is a tax on your entire career. “Free to upload” is the okie doke. Fixed fees protect artists. Percentages drain artists. If you make even $1,000 a year, 15% = $150 You’ve already paid damn near 3× the cost of any flat fee distributor
