VDP is not wrong that the arts patronage system needs re-invention in the digital age. Hes not wrong that creators are under-compensated in the new world of streaming. But he shoots his credibility at the outset when he imagines that 100,000 individual spins on Spotify is even a remotely high-impact, high-value thing. Your song written with Ringo (thanks for the name drop by the way) may be a house and a pool in your nostalgic imagination but 100K impressions is the equivalent of one DJ playing the song one time on radio in Cleveland one day. Its not a hit. Its not an event that should generate lots of income for anyone. Beware old rich songwriters curmudgeon-splaining the economics of art.
