Censorship Resistance
With the ever-growing issues on centralized social media platforms such as censorship, @FiveStarGroup is taking advantage of a decentralized platform that is censorship resistant.
Decentralized Services and Rate Structure
Centralized services such as Spotify distribute payouts to artists from their music being streamed. They take a large percentage of the revenue and it goes to rights holders like the record label, publisher, and distributor. You can see the example below.
Now this chart above was from a couple years ago but I haven't found much of anything that shows that much changed to their model. You can see the list of rates from 2016 that services offer in this chart below.
Five Star Entertainment Gourp changing the way artists can get paid by utilizing a blockchain based payment structure. Taking advantage of the growing adoption of crypto-currency.
Using decentralized services such as @DSound, they are able to generate revenue by stake holders on the Steem blockchain. Listeners and supporters recieve curation rewards by supporting artist's music being that they are stakeholders and creating something other than the rate structures that centralized services have.
Increasing their stake on the Steem platform, will have the ability to generate their own revenue stream and also take advantage of the future addition of Smart Media Tokens.
Laying the Foundation
@FiveStarGroup is releasing music and vlogs, and setting up the foundation to support other musicians and entertainers. Expanding to various genres and building something revolutionary to the music and entertainment industry.
The word on the street is big things are coming and more community involvement will happen. Stay tuned!
