James Blake Defends His Unique Streaming Platform Against OnlyFans And Patreon Comparisons"},"content":{"rendered":"\n

The music scene has changed dramatically as technology advances, and while many of these developments make it easier for consumers to acquire music, few of them assist the artists who create our favorite songs. <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Many celebrities, including James Blake, have spoken out against this on social media. In early March, he tweeted about seeking equitable remuneration for himself and his peers, and now the “Funeral” singer is attempting to make that happen by collaborating with Vault. “Ok, so for the first time I’m going to be releasing from my vault of unreleased music,” Blake posted on Wednesday (March 20). “We are launching @vaultdotfm to show music has inherent value beyond just exposure.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Given Blake’s enormous fanbase, knowledge about this new streamer is spreading quickly, and people have a lot of questions. “Is there another subscription platform? Patreon, YouTube subscribers, and at least ten more platforms already provide this functionality. I understand you’re trying to help, but this doesn’t solve anything. The public who simply wants to listen to music in a ‘simple’ manner and is accustomed to Spotify will not spend five dollars for each musician they wish to listen to…”This just seems like another club, a niche thing, and a niche isn’t going to save musicians,” one individual complained, according to Uproxx.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If we want quality music somebody is gonna have to pay for it. Streaming services don\u2019t pay properly, labels want a bigger cut than ever and just sit and wait for you to go viral, TikTok doesn\u2019t pay properly, and touring is getting prohibitively expensive for most artists.<\/p>— James Blake (@jamesblake) March 3, 2024<\/a><\/blockquote>
