.003 cents per stream, if they even have to pay you at all (and soon, they won't) -- (link) - hollywood big shot Dec 1, 08:13 15

  - As a consumer, it's hard to argue with paying $15/mo for a family to access any music they want vs. $1 per song. -- nm - oblique Dec 1, 08:50 4
    - Yup. We have the family plan, so pay them ~$20/month for 6 of us to listen to virtually anything we want. - JaxSean Dec 1, 09:05
    - the girls both love it -- nm - Beaker 🍺 Dec 1, 08:59
