I won't recommend any specific ones, but I don't use any that don't pay me 100% of my earnings. From memory CDBaby keep 9 or 10%? I'd also advise against Distrokid after their recent banwaves. I have no idea what this means.

I don't sell streams.

It works well on YT Music too :)

"The Andromeda–Milky Way collision is a galactic collision predicted to occur in about 4.5 billion years..." I wouldn't spend too long worrying about it.

Payout of $3/1k streams.

A mix of all, aiming for an average of around 3-3.5/k.

Like anything, how much you're making a month will determine if they cost too much or not. If they aren't good enough, don't use them. Many of the small to medium distributors will manually approve releases. Routenote for example is notorious for rejecting them.

They fluctuate from month to month, but they're usually around the same or a bit higher than Norway.

Iceland, Denmark, Ireland are always up there.

Right, many will pay for the month before the track was taken down. I was more addressing the idea that there's a secret distributor who pays no matter what happens :)

If the track is taken down by Spotify, then they don't pay the distributor, so the distributor doesn't pay you.

I've ordered from probably a dozen people on there and had around half of them send me songs ripped off from somewhere else. Then when you send them links to the songs they ripped off, they say "Oh I don't know how that happened!"
