Still going strong. Still supported by taxes. Still subject to political interference.

Do you give the rewards out based on views/listens? Because if so then you haven't fixed the system. Because the audience doesn't like everyone's work the same. 10% of the creators will get 90% of the revenue.

Do you give out the rewards based on effort? If I spend 10 days making a tune that no-one wants to listen to, should I get the same reward as someone who creates a tune that everyone loves? Is that fair?

Is there some middle ground, where say 50% of the revenue is allocated on audience size and 50% on effort? If I spend all my time making bad music then I should get my rent paid, right? That's fair, right?

What system should we use that would be fair and still allow unpopular creators to get paid enough to pay their rent?
