      Just in from the great people at Music Ally.

      Rumours that SoundCloud would become the first big music streaming service to adopt user-centric payouts were correct. The company has just announced plans for what it’s calling ‘fan-powered royalties’.

      What’s really nice is that some other streaming companies are starting to do things with tip jars and Patreon type support from Fans to the artists they love. Now that it’s happening from the DSP right to the artist in a more accurate division of the royalty pool we will see the payouts go where the fans want their money to go.
