Video: @deemsterhotline on Instagram, used with thanks. The phone compares the 720p original with its 4K nu.media upscale, made on the Neural Engine, at iPhone 18 Pro resolution. Tap Sound to listen; it plays in 5.1, upmixed from the stereo original, so AirPods Pro, AirPods 3 and later, and AirPods Max render it as spatial audio.
Today most of what people spend on films, music and video is kept by the companies in between. On khėnsu.ñü, fans pay the people who made it. Directly, instantly and privately, with no platform cut and every right left with you.

ñü.network & fans pay artists directly
from fan to artist.
nobody takes a cut in between.
Studios, labels and streaming services keep most of what people spend on art. On khėnsu.ñü, fans pay the people who made it, in the app, and the only charge is a network fee under 1¢ to send, receive or withdraw. And you keep every right to your work: publishing, copyright, trademarks and IP, like nowhere else. There are no ads: you’re paid for people using and interacting with your work, every play and view, and every tip and gift.
how payments work
- Paid for the plays, before label or platform share
- Reaches the artist
- khėnsu.ñü, all to the artist
Estimates checked 2026-10-11; services pay from a monthly pool, not a fixed rate, and pay varies by country, plan and audience. Signed-artist figures apply a 15–20% royalty to the rights holders’ payout, before recoupment. On khėnsu.ñü every play pays the artist 1¢ and khėnsu.ñü takes no cut, so $10 per 1,000 plays reaches the artist in full. The play rate is the same for everyone; artists set prices only for what they sell, such as albums, tickets and in-app purchases; tips arrive in full, and paid content bought inside the iPhone app follows Apple’s purchase rules.

Published terms checked 2026-10-11. Every platform here takes a share, so the split is the same at $100 or $1 billion; the App Store’s 15% rate covers developers earning under $1 million a year and subscriptions after their first year, otherwise 30%. The Spotify row is an estimate: about two-thirds of Spotify’s revenue goes to rights holders, and a typical new-artist label deal pays the artist 15–20% of that, before any advance is recouped; songwriting royalties are paid separately. Card fees are worked out at typical payment sizes. khėnsu.ñü’s network fee is an estimate. Apps built on khėnsu.ñü pay a flat 10% of their own in-app purchases and app subscriptions, never scaled up or down; views, gifts, tickets, sales and tips pay no cut.

the old deal.
most of it never reaches you.
- Music15–20%of a label’s share reaches a new artist
Spotify pays about two-thirds of its music revenue to rights holders, from a monthly pool; widely reported estimates come to $3–5 per 1,000 streams. A typical new-artist deal pays the artist 15–20% of the label’s share, and nothing until the advance, recording and marketing are earned back.
- Film~50%of every ticket kept by the cinema
The distributor then takes its fee, traditionally 30% in the US and Canada, and repays marketing, prints, overhead and the cost of the film before anything counts as profit. That’s why “net points” on a hit often pay nothing.
- Video and live45–55%of ad revenue kept by YouTube
YouTube keeps 45% on long videos and 55% on Shorts, Twitch keeps half of most subscriptions, and app stores take 15–30% of purchases made inside apps.
- Cinema
- Distribution fee
- Marketing, prints, overhead and the cost of the film, repaid first
The studio row is a simplified example of a traditional theatrical deal; fees, costs and splits vary by film and contract, and money from streaming, TV and home video follows its own terms.

ñũ.Fî back
fund the next film, album or tour.
from the people who want it.
Instead of asking a studio or a label for an advance, ask your fans. nufi Back works like Kickstarter, with no platform cut. nufi Give is for gifts of any size; lending and investment run through licensed partners, whose fees are shown before anyone commits.
- All or nothing.Pledges are held in escrow on the network. Reach your goal by the deadline and the money is released to you; if not, every backer is refunded automatically. No company holds the money, khėnsu.ñü included.
- Terms that can’t change.Your goal, deadline and rewards are signed and published before anyone pays, so they can’t be altered afterwards.
- Private backers.You see totals and which rewards people chose; who backed you stays private unless they choose to share it.
- Your rights stay yours.Backers get the rewards you offer, such as a ticket, a download or a signed copy. They don’t get your film, your masters or a share of your income.
Every collaborator, paid automatically
One split.
Paid as it arrives.
Set a split once (the director, the writer, the composer and the cast) and every payment is shared between their wallets as it comes in. No one waits for an accountant’s statement, and no one has to trust the person holding the money.
Nothing to pay back
$500,000
to repay a $100,000 advance
A label advance is repaid out of the artist’s share. At a 20% royalty, a $100,000 advance is repaid only after the recording earns $500,000. On khėnsu.ñü nobody advances you money, so there’s nothing to recoup: the first payment from the first fan is yours.
economics
post-capitalist economics. paid for work, owned by no one.
No shareholders between you and your audience. People who make things and people who carry them are paid directly, and the network keeps nothing in between.
- No owner takes a cutViews, tips and gifts go straight to creators. The network fee goes to the people running the nodes.
- One rate, worldwideA node in Tangier earns the same per gigabyte as one in Berlin, and that money goes about 2.5× further.
- A cent a playEvery view or play pays the creator 1¢, $10 per 1,000, and no one takes a cut. A fan’s money only goes to what they watched.

Estimates, not promises. nu.media at 500 kbit/s plus audio; three node hops a view, paid $0.002–0.005 per GB. A view is one minute watched, of a post, a video or a live stream; the same minute costs and pays the same either way, so content people stay for earns more. Creators are paid 1¢ a view with no cut; tips and paid subscriptions come on top. A trillion views is a whole platform’s traffic, not one video. Node rates and prices can change.

where the network fee goes
The network fee pays the people who run khėnsu.ñü’s nodes for carrying your payments and your work. If you run a node, or carry a sunulink.shield, the network also pays it for the relay work it can prove it did, into the same wallet. What a node earns depends on the work it does; this is not a promise of earnings.
Every play pays you 1¢, $10 per 1,000 plays, and khėnsu.ñü takes no cut of it. A fan’s money only ever goes to what they actually watched or played.
what is measured and what isn’t
khėnsu.ñü’s 0% cut and 42¢ minimum payout are rules of how payments work. Its network fee is an estimate and its per-play figure an example. nu.media figures are benchmarks, measured on the reel shown on this page. Other platforms’ figures are their published terms, or estimates where they don’t publish one, and each is labelled. Payments are offered region by region, following legal review in each, and paid digital content bought inside the iPhone app follows Apple’s purchase rules.
every number and where it comes from
Spotify, Apple Music, App Store, YouTube, Twitch, Patreon, OnlyFans, Instagram, TikTok and Kickstarter are trademarks of their owners; no affiliation or endorsement. Not an offer of securities or a promise of earnings.
