    1000 unique listeners.

    If you had 500 die hard fans who stream your music every waking minute, you get $0.

    Now, I imagine they did this to prevent people from trying to game the system (create a song and have all your devices stream it all the time, or something), but it’s still shitty that if you have legitimate “listens” you can get nothing.

      It makes it so that I know some of my listens are just going to line Spotify’s coffers. I have a number of bands I listen to who are under even 500 monthly listeners. Even if they’re only getting a couple cents, I know they’re at least getting something from my listens on Tidal.
