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

[-] stephen01king@lemmy.zip 5 points 5 days ago

The article didn't contradict itself since it did not make the claim that she made more money from Only Fans, the celebrity did. They just posted the estimated revenue from both services which doesn't match up with what she said. The only conclusions we can come up with is either their estimation is completely off or she was exaggerating her example.

Good for her. If I thought there was a market for my disgusting claws I'd sell feet pics too.

I wonder how much her record label makes from her music on Spotify...

[-] gmtom@lemmy.world 9 points 6 days ago

Industry average is 2/3 goes to the label 1/3 goes to the artist.

[-] Blackmist@feddit.uk 10 points 6 days ago

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.

Spotify is a fucking racket

[-] secret300@lemmy.sdf.org 4 points 4 days ago

My dumbass didn't think "damn Spotify doesn't pay artists"

Instead I immediately thought "damn more people are paying for their onlyfans than listening to their music"

[-] EnderMB@lemmy.world 32 points 6 days ago

Something I've noticed in British media as of late is that OnlyFans makes some serious money - enough so that a creator can essentially use local journalism as an outlet for promoting their page.

I doubt some of the figures, but if you were to dig into them you'd probably see that number after the media have basically told people "look! Lily Allen has OnlyFans!"

Alongside that, funny enough, OnlyFans is probably one of the UK's biggest tech success stories. They make a lot of money, have only a few employees, and are basically leaders in their field. That's probably another weighing towards this being a promo piece.

feet just dont do it for me

[-] ConstantPain@lemmy.world 9 points 6 days ago

It has to have a person attached.

Seeing how this thread is full of hate for Spotify by seeming large number of people who are fans of streaming music/podcast services, I'll pos this question here:

What are the better alternatives for someone seeking to get their favored audios, in terms of library selection, able to form custom playlists and how much if any support to the artist/content creator actually gets to them and what is pocketed by the app?

[-] flamingo_pinyata@sopuli.xyz 16 points 6 days ago

I don't think there's all-in-one best option

library size

Deezer

how much is paid to the creator

Bandcamp

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.

[-] meowMix2525@lemm.ee 19 points 6 days ago

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.

I'm not a huge Lily Allen fan, but her first album was incredible.

From creating toe tappers to taping her toes.
