Hi everyone, I'm currently working on a non-profit music streaming startup called Hark. I just made a website to start collecting emails of people interested, and I am looking for some feedback and help determining how I can get more people interested, specifically with providing users with some value beyond the good morals of supporting musicians through a more fair platform.

This project started because I'm a musician and I know a lot of musicians, and the current state of the music industry has been on a severe downturn for most musicians ever since Spotify introduced the world to (legal) music streaming and began normalizing paying artists very little for their work. To keep this post short, you can read more about specifically how I'm trying to solve this problem on my website (and enter your email if you want to help me out).

Currently working towards a beta that will hopefully be ready in the next month-ish.

I use DistroKid to publish my music out to streaming services. It pushes out to a long list of streaming service, most that I've never heard of or use. Other musician friends seem to do similar and don't ever directly interact with the services. Get on the DistroKid list of services, and you'll have content.
