Could a music streaming service work on #atproto? The music, number of plays, subscribers, all on each artist's repo. User subscription fees fairly distributed based on user plays. How is the content restricted for non paying users? How are artists paid by the app while also having portability?

Perhaps the official play counts live on a separate repo, owned by whoever is managing payments and streaming. If an artist decides to go with a different provider, they keep their profile, subscribers and content. Artists could even offer their own direct payment plans under the same system.

I would separate the ideas of music distribution and social listening. @teal.fm accomplish as much of the social listening aspect of an existing music streamer.

Making the distribution side work I would imagine looking a lot like @stream.place where the actual content rails aren’t necessarily on protocol but each creator can spin up their own node and distribute throughout the entire network
