About this listen
Streams look impressive. Income rarely follows.
A generated dialogue examining the realities behind streaming numbers and why high play counts do not automatically translate into sustainable music careers. The conversation breaks down how streaming platforms actually pay, the difference between passive listening and real fan engagement, and why visibility without conversion often leads to burnout rather than income. It explores algorithms, playlists, payouts, back catalogues, and the systems artists need to turn streams into momentum, ownership, and long-term support.
Presented as a generated dialogue.
