She makes next to nothing from putting previous works on spotify, and more from keeping previous pictures of her feet on onlyfans. There's another article that we were discussing further down, about the likely percentage artists get, but that wasn't your point, since you think she should get nothing from both spotify and onlyfans. I assumed you were questioning my numbers, but you think the number should be lower, so you were questioning my use of the word "ludicrous." I get it now!
My main disagreement is that I'm positive now that all that 4000/day does not go to her, so she is probably not lying about the number difference. She does still make plenty off some old music in other ways, of course. To a ludicrous degree perhaps? No?
I don't know where you got that "both" from.
Regular people don't get royalties for their work either. Factory workers who assemble ovens don't get a cut from each meal a restaurant cooks, for example. Those filthy rich musicians, Hollywood actors, etc. keep leaving out that they've already been paid millions for their work. They leave out that they sold the publishing rights to record companies. They act as if they earned less than you and me. They are doing absolutely fine. No need to fight for a right to better royalties or anything like that. If they need more money, they can just make new music.
