Add this short (31 second) song to streaming playlists.

Every ~100 streams we plant a tree.

Even if I think it will hardly ever work, I have to agree this is ingenious.

Can I ask why you think it won't work?

People must actively enroll to listen to "ads". This creates some inertia.

Imagining this "sticks" - I still think it's a great idea that could expand to other areas (listen to save animals, people in need, etc) - I wonder if Spotify wouldn't find some infringement or copy your idea to improve goodwill.

Spotify has already been accused to promote his own "fake" artists to get a share of the royalties cake: https://www.musicbusinessworldwide.com/spotify-denies-its-pl...
