Pricing defaults in the creator economy are weird given how comparatively cheap streaming services are. I understand why most people wouldn’t want to throw $5-10/month to a single artist when they’re paying $10-15/month for Spotify (note: I have feelings about Spotify’s pricing model)

But I’d totally pay $1-3/month each to support a few artists I absolutely care about.

I’ve been wondering - why don’t I see a lot of artists and creators experimenting with pricing? Why the $5 and $10 default? Is it just because those are easy to remember? Because they are the defaults?
