Do you plan on adding a paywall when a listener has heard a song a certain amount? I’m a huge fan of Bandcamp, and I love that I hit a paywall when I’ve heard an album a certain number of times. Reminds me that there’s an artist behind the music and that I obviously like the album enough to buy it. Often I’ll buy the album on Bandcamp but then find it on my streaming service and listen to it there (easier for adding to playlists, etc).

One of my core points is that listeners can enjoy the music for free and without requiring to sign up for something. I do not see myself enforcing a paywall after a certain number of plays on a song or album.

However, I could see adding a notification or achievement after listening to an artists music a lot. This way we could remind the user to support the artists work.

A notification seems like it would be a great idea. Users could ignore it and carry on with with the free listening premise. But the very existence of the platform seems to be based on the fact that listeners will choose to support artists, so a notification to support will probably appreciated and heeded by listeners.
