MODERATORS
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.
That also happens to be exactly the kind of math error AI is notorious for making. I bet the article was written by AI and likely not even proofread by a human.
But 8 > 4??? /s
feet just dont do it for me
It has to have a person attached.
no kiddin.
I wonder how much her record label makes from her music on Spotify...
Industry average is 2/3 goes to the label 1/3 goes to the artist.
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 wouldn't really call it "missing" while it seems kinda shocking at first that labels take that much of a cut, people don't really realise just how many people are involved in music production. From marketing to designers to video editors, social media teams, managers that get them interviews and talk shows and spots at festivals etc. And then all the overhead that comes with those jobs, so finance, HR, IT and facilities etc.
So 1/3 is actually pretty decent and a much bigger cut of the profits than most people get from their labour.
I'm not a huge Lily Allen fan, but her first album was incredible.

Who?
Theon Greyjoy's sister
Is it weird that I used to think the reverse? Alfie was Lily's brother, and a nepo baby. I be damned if he didn't earn it though. Also, my first thought was the woman who played "Asha" was not Lily Allen.
who’s sister?
whose
Reek
(played by Alfie Allen)
Lily's song Alfie is about him.
That one dan bull sang about
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.
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.
Good for her. If I thought there was a market for my disgusting claws I'd sell feet pics too.
Be the change you want to see in this world.
Buy pictures of their own feet?
