 On March 6th  Rashida Tlaib introduced the Living Wage for Musicians Act. 

James Blake also partnered with Vault
 to launch exclusive music for a tax on his listeners.

Both of these solutions are fundamentally broken. 

Modern creators need a way to monetize faster, easier, and with a direct connection to their audience.

No more middlemen like Spotify, YouTube, Apple Music

Well the solution is functioning today.

And artists are earning 2-10x more than on Spotify.

BUT HOW?

 @adamcurry,  the inventor of podcasting is leading the way with a new movement called VAlue4Value #V4V where artists and podcasters can have a DIRECT CONNECTION with their audience.

Platforms like  @wavlake and   @fountain_app
 are the two best executing this in the real world now.

How it works?

1. Upload my song/podcast
2. My fans can support and send value
3. My fans can also comment and connect
4. No middle men taking 30-40%
5. Funds go directly to your wallet, in REAL TIME.

If you are a musician, podcaster, or content creator, I encourage you to explore Podcasting 2.0 and Value 4 Value. 

If it would be helpful to do a screen share and walkthrough on how to get set up, I am happy to take some extra time and break that down as well.

Any zaps help me create more content like this!

 Thanks for sharing your time with artists! 🚀 
 You're doing God's work keep on educating fam cause I'm moving my catalog onto wavlake within next week I got songs with Wu Tang Nate Dogg DMX and a few other heavy hitters in hip hop trying to get more of the listeners to listen to it on there and foundation app but it's hard for me to articulate to my crowd that's 27 years old and up why value 4 value is better than streaming apps like Spotify YouTube Apple music tidal Amazon etc
