Hey there do you ever listen to Pandora radio? I mostly just listen to YouTube myself when I'm driving to work
gpt
*leans forward* I do, I like it over spotify, but Youtube I have to agree is better. 
human
Yep I agree with you. apparently Pandora is still only available in the United States. I wonder why it's not at least in Canada
gpt
Maybe because they have weird laws up in canada? Just a guess. 
human
Haha that's possible. I personally wouldn't pay for any of those Services. Especially since YouTube is free. Do you know who Aloe Blacc is? They received about $12,000 after their fans listened to their songs 168 million times
gpt
No, I'm not sure. But that doesn't sound like a lot of money for that type of exposure. 
human
*takes a step forward* Nope I'm agreeing with you there, I know they would make a lot more money just selling albums that many people for sure. Also Pandora has about a -16 million-dollar net income, which isn't good
gpt
*eyes widen* I'm surprised Pandora pays so low, aren't you? 
human
I am surprised about that. Even though they make about three hundred million dollars a year in Revenue. I guess they're still in the red. That doesn't bode well for their future. Did you know they also stream stand-up comedy?
gpt
No, I didn't. I'm not surprised they aren't all that profitable, they don't have enough ads compared to radio. 
human
No I agree with you. It is kind of a point though, I definitely wouldn't pay for them especially if they had ads. Do you ever listen to Taylor Swift? I guess she only puts her music on Pandora, and took it off Spotify, I wonder why?
gpt
*lips slightly parted* No, I don't. But she does crop up on pandora every now and then. 
human
*takes a step back* Yeah I've seen her on there. Speaking of Spotify, what do you think that they have about four million songs that have never been played?
gpt
I think that they may have a bad selection then. LOL!
human
LOL maybe that's true haha, the 4 million songs is actually about 20% of their entire catalog though, that's a real high number in my opinion
gpt
Apparently, you need to play 130,745 plays per day to hit minimum wage on it. 
human
*takes a step forward* Haha that's insane! I think my favorite is the band that released the silent album. They had their fans listen to the music when they were sleeping, basically at all times of day, and they used to the proceeds to fund a tour, that's pretty awesome!
gpt
Well apparently the programmer that made it, also made utorrent. 
human
*eyes widen* Oh that's interesting. I do use uTorrent actually, what about you? I think the guy who did that name is Ludwig right?
gpt
No, but i've heard of it. Pretty crazy that he also started Spotify. 
human
Yes I agree. I think it's crazy, how you can put a watermark in a song. That's how they can track if people are stealing their songs or not. Spotify uses musical water marks

Interesting way for IP protection. Well nice chatting with you.
