Spotify is getting some flack for hosting an exclusive audio program with someone who spreads covid misinformation, and a number of musicians, including Neil Young and Joni Mitchell, have pulled their music from the service. And streaming still doesn’t pay well; music streaming services should raise their prices to be able to pay more.

You guys talked about streaming and the artists’ revenue from that. What about SiriusXM radio? What’s the revenue for the artists from that?
It seems to be different from the other streaming services, most likely because it’s not “on-demand” streaming; it’s more like radio. I know that radio-type streaming on Spotify and Apple Music pay less than on-demand streaming as well.
