Funk rock outfit Vulfpeck thinks it can make enough money from Spotify to not only cover the costs of an entire tour, but to not have to charge admission to any of the shows.

The band has released an album of complete silence — no sounds whatsoever — on Spotify and is encouraging fans to listen to it while they sleep. The 10-track, 316-second album is appropriately titled “Sleepify.”

Since Spotify pays Vulfpeck a half a cent per stream, Vulfpeck calculates that a users can help the band earn $4 by streaming “Sleepify” on repeat during a seven-hour sleep session.

Since they earn way more than the half cent they pay the band, probably forever.

Never thought of it like that.

lol

It is still a bad deal. Since the fans of the band will pay more for the electricity - than the band makes in income.

I'm guessing?

As such - it would be cheaper to just send them the cash.

This is like the economic equivalent of a perpetual motion machine.
