How come no one has made a music player that streams sats to artist in real time?

A new client is born
Most people just want to pay a one-time fee and not have to think about it anymore. Something like what you describe probably wouldn't be popular enough to operate. Streaming platforms have to pay licensing fees to the rights holders, and I'm just not sure a sats based platform like you describe would be profitable enough (or at all) to justify maintaining its operation.
Why wouldn’t it be popular to operate? There’s nothing to operate…
I mean I don't think the demand would be sufficient to pay for the overhead. Unless you're planning on pirating the music and then sending them sats when enough people have streamed their tracks.
If the rights holder gets sats for streamed content as it’s played then no fees are involved. The rights don’t have to be paid for in advance.
Exactly. What fees? The payment goes directly to artist
Are you talking about new artists, or independent artists? I was thinking about popular music like you'd find on Spotify or Apple Music.
Nah. Screw those people 🤣
Ok, so you're thinking more independent artists who would work directly with the platform, and would basically setup their own wallet to receive royalties. That's would be different from what I was initially thinking of. That could work.
I streamed sats to something in real-time once, and absolutely hated the experience. Minutes listened are just never equal to value derived.
Probably because this is super difficult to bootstrap. You need a large library of songs to attract users, and you need a good user base to attract artists.
Would need some brave folks for sure. Brave and patient.

Make it Nostr
Wasn’t Tidal meant to be this? Web version has a nostr login already.
I don’t know I don’t have tidal
Great platform. Better economics returned to artists, albeit still on the stinky fiat standard. nostr:nprofile1qqsgydql3q4ka27d9wnlrmus4tvkrnc8ftc4h8h5fgyln54gl0a7dgstw3r3l maybe add a LN tip jar on top of the subscription & be able to zap artists you like. ⚡️
Probably no demand for bitcoin tips

this is a really good idea. Make sure it's decentralized so copyright nazis can't go after nobody.
