I was listening to this dumbass podcast and these guys claimed, I believe realistically, that their album had 1 million streams and that this resulted in for them, net, about $4,000.
Are stream counts tied to track length?
I mean, hypothetically, and feel free to do this because I'm not going to, if I made a 100 track album of me counting to 100 with 1 track per song, got it on Spotify, and then streamed it nonstop on a few computers for a year, would this provide me any amount of money?
I kind of think yes.

I kind of think yes. I'm not exactly Alfred Einstein on these matters - or any matters - but I reckon some crafty computer-savvy crims wouldve tried that on the first ever day of goddamn Spotify. I am kind of fascinated at the mad capers crims come up with to game loopholes and shake down systems for a quick buck. "But criminals are baddies" you say. No. Society is the baddie. If you can "minimise human collateral", with inequality the way it is today, it is now totally worth trying some shady shit to get rich quick. Beats the alternative, wasting your precious weeks and months away, working like a cucked dog for an "hourly wage". Chase that big payout, I say. "Just run this across the street for me right quick...."As I often say to myself in regards to my own total scam of a profession, in the words of Mr G.Flash, "...gotta have a con in this land of milk and honey".....

There's a podcast called Reply All and the most recent episode is basically about these freaks who figured out they should name their songs shit like "Okay Google play ambient music."
Seems mildly effective, if not necessarily the greatest long-term scheme.

"Siri, what have you done for me lately?"
"Alexa, hit me with some fat beats you filthy slut" |

I am fascinated by these gimmicks. I was relaying this story to my brother on the phone and guess what happened.
Yep, Google fired up some ambient music...

"decent pay" for however many "100% flexible" hours it takes to track down some Julian Cope/Marc Almond collaboration picture disc from 1987? M'kay.  |

"decent pay" for however many "100% flexible" hours it takes to track down some Julian Cope/Marc Almond collaboration picture disc from 1987? M'kay. This thing is a GIANT wifiWFT. Someone overseas "hires" you as an avatar (?) for a few hours at $30 or so an hour. You strap the smartphone around your neck (like fuck) and the rich foreign cunt guides you around the shop barking instructions into your ear. "Pick up that one. Check the price. Check the condition. Next. Next."
Then I guess Richie Rich gaikoku man somehow pays for teh stuff at counter, somehow through his smartphone (lol lot of record shops here only take cash) Can see some big problems with this etiquette-wise in Japan. Quiet tiny shops, crusty shopkeepers, timid local Japanese fellow customers and hello, some giant noisy gaijin prattling away to his online pals with a goddamn camera around his neck. Has the potential to be really disturbing to other customers. "Yeah, went to my fave record shop today for some field of dreams browsing but some clumsy gaijin dickhead was braying into the phone the whole time and clanking around the place driving everyone mad. Ruined the vibe."
If I saw that guy in a shop swinging his camera around at us he would get told quick smart dont film me fella, read the air motherfucker. |
