SoundCloud’s Fan-powered Royalties

Just now I received a email from SoundCloud. It is a new feature called fan-powered royalties, a fairer way for artists to earn more money on SoundCloud. Traditionally, the profit of artists is based on dividing the cash pool, and dividing the total earnings by streaming. With fan-powered royalties, each listener's subscription or advertising revenue is distributed among the artists they actually listen to, rather than being pooled.

But I still have doubts about this method. Now there are three main problems with music streaming's profits: low royalties, the head effect, and algorithmic dependency. This feature mitigates the head effect, but doesn't address the low royalties to artists, and maybe bring many more problems.

First, royalties for artists are too low. In May 2020, it was reported that violinist Tamsin Little's work received between 5 and 6 million plays through the Spotify platform in six months, but only earned £12.34. Most of the artists' earnings come from touring and peripheral products such as T-shirts. So this approach may raise the artists' revenue, but by how much?

Second, streaming traffic is paramount. Like the band, BTS, has been criticized for spoiling the fairness by brushing up the traffic. Will this feature strengthen this unfairness?

Third, information cocoon. This feature is equivalent to indirectly encouraging fans to only listen to songs of their favorite artists and not to explore other people's songs. Limiting themselves to the music of only some artists leads to a single taste in music. Will it in turn bring more streaming traffic to the head artists?

Overall this is very well written. Just a few things sounded odd or a little off to my native ear.
