Fan-Centric Royalties Explained
Most streaming platforms pool subscriber revenue and split it by overall market share. Fan-centric flips that logic and connects the artists a listener plays to support, rewards, discounts on tickets, exclusives, drops, and more.

The problem with pro-rata
In a pro-rata model, your subscription joins a massive pool and is distributed according to total market share, not your individual listening behaviour.
What fan-centric changes
Fan-centric royalties route each user's subscription toward the artists they personally stream. It is simpler, more legible, and much easier to defend ethically.
Why Lissen adds fan rewards
Lissen does not stop at fairer artist pay. Fans can also unlock discounts on tickets, exclusives, drops, and more based on the artists they actually support.
That matters because the best streaming model should create a stronger relationship on both sides: artists get clearer support from real fans, and fans get more than another passive subscription.
