In my eyes, the artist being able to reward top donators (merch, exclusive content, behind the scenes, tickets to live…) is key to making the whole thing work. You guys mentioned it in the podcast, right? 

I have limited hope for the “busker” approach. Not because it does not have value and cannot generate income but because it is not enough to replace the mess that is current music distribution. 

Looking forward to your second year 

 Some version of this is absolutely coming down the road.
