    I suppose that’s true. It’s supposed to be 3/10ths of one cent. My bad on writing both, force of (bad) habit.

    Also there’s Spotify and potentially a distributor also taking a cut of this payment before it gets to the artist. Spotify takes 30%, so 1/10th of each 3/10th of a cent, along with whatever cut the distributor takes.

    On Bandcamp Fridays, you’re able to pay 100% to the artist.
