Lily Allen Makes More Money from OnlyFans Than Spotify

Damn, spotify truly is a scourge to artists.

Some years ago, an artist who was not a mega-star but was on all the major music services published an article detailing how well each one paid. I'm now kicking myself for not bookmarking it. I clearly remember Spotify being among the worst, if not the worst.

The article contradicts the heck out of itself.

Says billboard estimates she earns roughly $4k a day from Spotify streams. Then they speculate she makes roughly 8k a month from OnlyFans.

That would be like $120k a month from Spotify and $8k a month from OnlyFans.

That is FAR from more money from OnlyFans. Even if those numbers are hugely off I don't see how the discrepancy would be THAT large.

My dumbass didn't think "damn Spotify doesn't pay artists"

Instead I immediately thought "damn more people are paying for their onlyfans than listening to their music"

I'm a girl, in a healthy BMI and with nice hair, pretty and freckled face, but my feet are super crappy. Like, crusty, toes bend at weird angles, hard skin in random places. Even my own husband is like "plz no, stop" if they get too near to him.

I'm now wondering if there's a market on the other end of the scale...

Good for her. If I thought there was a market for my disgusting claws I'd sell feet pics too.

Holy shit. I have feet. Does anyone want pictures of a guy's feet? They're big and weirdly shaped.

I wonder how much her record label makes from her music on Spotify...

Spotify is a fucking racket

Something I've noticed in British media as of late is that OnlyFans makes some serious money - enough so that a creator can essentially use local journalism as an outlet for promoting their page.

I doubt some of the figures, but if you were to dig into them you'd probably see that number after the media have basically told people "look! Lily Allen has OnlyFans!"

Alongside that, funny enough, OnlyFans is probably one of the UK's biggest tech success stories. They make a lot of money, have only a few employees, and are basically leaders in their field. That's probably another weighing towards this being a promo piece.

Am I missing something? Does it not say she makes an estimated $4000 per DAY from Spotify and $8000 per MONTH from onlyfans?

feet just dont do it for me

What's fun is that some people who read this article are probably into feet (good for them!) so it's like an ad and now she'll probably make even more on onlyfans. While still making ludicrously little from spotify.

Seeing how this thread is full of hate for Spotify by seeming large number of people who are fans of streaming music/podcast services, I'll pos this question here:

What are the better alternatives for someone seeking to get their favored audios, in terms of library selection, able to form custom playlists and how much if any support to the artist/content creator actually gets to them and what is pocketed by the app?

Perhaps this just means people value her feet more than music? I'm not into feet, but I really didn't like her music, so maybe this is reasonable.

I'm not a huge Lily Allen fan, but her first album was incredible.

From creating toe tappers to taping her toes.

It’s worth noting that Allen doesn’t actually claim she earns more money from OnlyFans than Spotify. “imagine being and artist and having nearly 8 million monthly listeners on spotify but earning more money from having 1000 people subscribe to pictures of your feet. don’t hate the player, hate the game.”

Who?

I love how the whole crowd of people that used to be all "what, you don't have a Spotify account?!" Are now starting with the "wait a minute, these guys are domineering and bad!" Like the signals for crowd abuse aren't plain as day.

This exploitative behavior will be down by literally any company that sets themselves up to be "the streets" that you gotta navigate to interact with someone else or their media. That means YouTube, Facebook, and also all those physical places on Earth.

I have very a pair beautiful feet, with a strong arch. All toes included. Offers in PM.

Joe Rogan took all of Spotify's money?

I never considered myself to be a foot-fetish guy, but damn she does indeed have sexy feet

Something's wrong with the economy.

This would mean something if anyone knew who she was as an artist

OnlyFans reportedly takes 20% of subscription revenue

That's a mobster-loanshark level cut.
