YouTube does pay though, for a million views you get around $1,000.

Read it in Jo Calderone's voice tbh, Italian accent and all. "SHE'S THEATAAAHH."

his arguement is messy

also im not surprised this is all coming from another owner of a streaming service, is he really trying to compare radio to streaming lmao

He never said it didn't. He said it's similar to Spotify.

He's right though in certain ways, but what do I know. I'm just a consumer :)

Someone is pressed that their streaming service is going to be irrelevant soon...Pandora's like the worst (and ugliest) of the steaming services anyway, he should worry about his own product first lol.

His whole rant seems to be an attempt at some PANDORA promo 

[Redstreak 6,651]

Radio and youtube are not the same thing as free streaming. The former are used for promotion while the latter is used by a lot of people as a substitute for actually buying the music.

 

Regardless I doubt the co-founder of a rival company knows anything more than the rest of us. He's purely speaking out of conjecture.

Spotify pays up as well. And $1,000 for 1 million for an artist like Taylor is nothing.
