What 6.9 Million Streams Actually Pays

A streaming-transparency and direct-support page for Lackluster. It aggregates years of streaming and sales data across services to show what music streams actually pay an independent artist — and offers a direct way to support the work, outside the streaming economy.

What it shows

• Aggregate streaming + sales across services (441,890 transactions): stream counts, sales, and what each actually paid out.
• Gig history — live performances over the years.
• A direct-support path that routes around per-stream micro-payouts.

How it's built

A standalone web app (its own server + a self-contained static build), served under esaruoho.org/support via a symlink to its own deploy. It is a sibling of the main vault-projected site, not a rendered vault page — this page is the vault's pointer to it.

Data handling

Only aggregate numbers are published — no buyer or customer data. The raw Bandcamp exports (which contain buyer names, emails, and addresses) are kept strictly private, .gitignored, and never deployed.
