Together we represent billions of streams and billions of dollars. If nothing changes, we disappear. When the ticker hits the target, we launch the Release Party and move our music elsewhere.
Right now, Spotify uses a Pro-Rata Model. Your subscription money goes into a giant bucket and is paid out to whoever has the most global streams. You are subsidizing artists you don't listen to, and worse, you are paying for AI Bot Farms.
The Solution: User-Centric Payments
We demand a model where your subscription fee goes to the artists you actually listen to. If you listen to Ray Bull, your money pays Ray Bull. Simple. Fair. Anti-Fraud.
THE EXODUS WILL TRIGGER UNLESS THESE TERMS ARE MET
Stop the pooling. Adopt a User-Centric Payment System (UCPS) to kill the bot economy and pay artists fairly.
Complete divestment of corporate funds from military defense technology (Helsing) and ICE advertising.
A fixed percentage of revenue allocated to a collective fund for artist healthcare and mental health.
No training generative AI models on our music without explicit, opt-in consent and compensation.
We pledge streams to the Ticker. No music is removed yet. We build leverage.
When we hit the threshold, we present demands from a position of power.
If demands are ignored, the pledge activates. We exit en masse.
