I can only speak for myself but four years ago, a music album was released via RSS feed by Able and The Wolf proving ANYONE could release their own music v4v. The RSS feed is a transparent contract between all collaborators which anyone can view to see who gets what amount of value for each song. Thanks to the Podcasting 2.0 protocol, the album was distributed to ALL modern podcast apps and #DeMu (decentralized music) was born.

Unlike any other P2.0 app, WL does NOT surface those self-custodied feeds. It's a walled garden and also a centralized platform, like Spotify 2.0.

When you look at WL artist feeds, 100% of the value goes to WL and anyone sending sats has to trust 90% gets distributed to the artist behind the scenes like they say. There's also the terms of service artists must abide... which means censorship and third-party data collection.

So here we are, watching the music industry get reinvented by many LEGACY industry players when there's a really simple, open source solution for anyone and everyone in #DeMu with no middlemen between listeners and artists:

Also if you're interested in music discovery, check out LNBeats.com which is FOSS and features ALL music RSS feeds, DeMu and WL alike. 💜
