Many of us would pay authors more than their licensed take from the digital publisher, if there was an honesty box. it's low cents in the dollar for almost everyone from kindle.
I know an authors agent and they told me negotiating with the majors in digital publishing is a nightmare. They all miss the old world of paper a LOT.
Patreon and like says to me that direct connect is a strong tool in the right hands. Bands know this: the merch thing is huge. Not everyone can be Taylor swift making $mil per stadium. Again, the digital plays don't make the money, like for kindle its small cents per thousand plays, if you are lucky.
I went to tidal over the others because I'm told its at least partly owned by musicians. I am sure its big sharks feeding of smaller sharks, but at least its fish.
