how much you earn?
Not sure but i think its been about 100sats per day on average.
Not getting rich, but im really enjoying pods im listening there 😄
Just logged in and see it should be 1 sat per minute, but they say only for the first hour of listening in selected days 🤔
Reading more but do not see how to know what days are selected. Anyway it is 60 sats a day at most..
At front page there promoted podcasts & or ad what will pay too. So after 1h you csn listen them too
Theres last 30 days and i dont listen every day.
nice! that´s not too bad at all! lovely pocket money for a free coffee or so..
How this busineess case works? I would undersrand to stream sats from me to the producer of that podcast as a reward for his creativity, but earn just by listening? Sounds similar to play2earn…
both of it is there.
Why are you getting paid on Fountain?
Every minute that you spend consuming content, creating content, or watching ads, increases the value of the platform you’re using. Think about the ones you use every day. Youtube, Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, TikTok - all of these platforms would lose their value without the time and attention that you give them, but none of them reward you for it. Fountain is different. Fountain is the only podcast app where both listeners and podcasters get rewarded for the value they bring to the platform.

+ I read in their terms they keep 4% above the streaming contributions , those they probably use for rewards after.
I am really not sure, if I create any value by listening a podcast. The only exception is if the podcaster wants to motivate me and is willing to pay me for that, but I don’t think it’s frequent (may be some politics will use this feature in the future:-). The money for that are taken from the rewards that listeners are willing to pay to podcasters for the content they really appreciate to motivate podcasters to produce more - real value4value usecase. But that also means that podcasters will earn less…
I understand the idea that rewarding the listeners may motivate them to join the platform and the hope they will switch to supporters in time. But I am skeptical the second part of the sentence works. We should not support the idea that my time i have spent on something without creating any value has the value an so I'm due a reward.
But anyway, it’s a decision of Fountain app creators…
I 🧡 your way of thinking and values you have.
Note, the 4% for foundation app is above the reward for producers.
I think the rewards for normal listening are just now for the beginning, later they will be reduced, or active only for new users. Other users will have rewards only when paying premium, listening promotions or so.
It is quite usual for new products /services
Free zaps 😂 No i give them to podcasters so they have insentive to keep doing what they do.
As a free user, you can earn more than 60 sats per day. There are promotions which change throughout the day, you can make clips, and refer people.
it is strange I do not earn any sats while listening and do not see any promotions in the homescreen 🤔
Not on your first day. It will come.
good to know! thx
