​Spotify pays pennies. What would you pay to directly support your favorite indie artist?

Hey PEOPLE OF THIS SUBREDDIT

I’m building a new platform that connects fans and indie artists in a completely different way. This isn’t Spotify, YouTube, or any other subscription-based app. The goal is to let fans support artists directly, unlock perks for engagement, and even create or buy fan-made merch.

I want to understand what you actually want from a platform like this, so your honest answers would be huge.

Here are the questions:

* How important is it to you that the music you listen to is completely human-created without any AI involvement

* Would you be willing to spend money on a pack of digital credits that lets you support artists and unlock special perks

* On average, how much do you spend on indie artists in a year for concert tickets, merch, or direct donations

* If a platform offered exclusive access to artist Q&As or fan clubs, would that interest you

* Would you like the option to design or sell fan-made items on a music platform and earn money from it

* If a platform gave artists 85 to 90 percent of their earnings, would that make you more likely to use it over existing services

Your feedback will directly shape the platform and help indie music thrive in a new way.
