In April 2024, Spotify implemented a new scheme: songs with less than 1k streams per year would no longer receive royalties.
The data for 2025 was just released via Luminate, and 88% of songs have been demonetized.

Bad solution to a real problem.
- Will cut vulnerable youngsters off from friends & support networks.
- Will result in a large cohort of people even more ill-prepared for online arena which grown adults are patently failing to cope with
- Will not prevent bad actors finding ways to bully & abuse
