The article contradicts the heck out of itself.

Says billboard estimates she earns roughly $4k a day from Spotify streams. Then they speculate she makes roughly 8k a month from OnlyFans.

That would be like $120k a month from Spotify and $8k a month from OnlyFans.

That is FAR from more money from OnlyFans. Even if those numbers are hugely off I don't see how the discrepancy would be THAT large.

feet just dont do it for me

I wonder how much her record label makes from her music on Spotify...

[–] gmtom@lemmy.world 4 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

Industry average is 2/3 goes to the label 1/3 goes to the artist.

[–] Blackmist@feddit.uk 1 points 32 minutes ago

Hmm, so we may have a culprit in the case of the missing money.

And although I like Lily, she's not really done a lot of music recently, and was never really that big outside the UK.

I'm not a huge Lily Allen fan, but her first album was incredible.

Perhaps this just means people value her feet more than music? I'm not into feet, but I really didn't like her music, so maybe this is reasonable.

[–] meowMix2525@lemm.ee 17 points 6 hours ago

Not really. It just means onlyfans pays more than Spotify... which seems obvious to me??? A direct subscription to an artist vs only a few cents per play... yeah, no brainer, the artist is going to make less money in the latter deal.

[–] RangerJosie@lemmy.world 30 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

Good for her. If I thought there was a market for my disgusting claws I'd sell feet pics too.

[–] Blackmist@feddit.uk 10 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

Be the change you want to see in this world.
