What It Is
The Streaming Rewards Pool is an engagement-based listener reward pool. It is not salary, not guaranteed income, and not an ownership interest. It is a discretionary pool that may be funded from YUME's quarterly net profit.
How It Is Funded
The pool may be funded by up to 25% of quarterly net profit across YUME revenue streams, which may include subscription profit, e-commerce profit, tour net profit, publishing income, advertising revenue, sponsorship revenue, label income, and broadcast licensing.
Who Can Participate
The pool is designed for eligible Premium listeners who actively participate in the YUME ecosystem. Participation depends on verified streaming and engagement activity during the quarter, subject to platform rules and fraud controls.
How Rewards Are Calculated
The total Streaming Rewards Pool is allocated based on streaming points and broader cultural participation. The more verified impact a listener creates inside the rules, the larger their potential share of the quarterly pool.
Invite Rewards
When someone you directly invite joins Premium, you may receive a $20 invite reward. Invite Rewards are single-level and separate from the Streaming Rewards Pool, which is based on verified quarterly engagement.
Invite-4 Credit
Keep 4 friends active on Premium and receive credit for your 28 days periodic fee.

CULTURAL IMPACT
Cultural Impact Tiers
Your Cultural Impact Score determines your tier and streaming multiplier. The more you engage — listening, discovering, sharing, and supporting — the higher you climb.
Cultural Impact Tiers
Your Cultural Impact Score (CIS) determines your tier. Listen more, discover artists, share music, and engage with the community to progress.

Streaming Points by Cultural Impact Tier
| Tier | Streaming Points Earned per Song |
|---|---|
| Listener | 0.50 points per song |
| Supporter | 0.75 points per song |
| Advocate | 1.00 point per song |
| Curator | 1.25 points per song |
| Yumefied | 1.50 points per song |
Cultural Impact Tiers are based on platform behavior such as listening activity, playlist creation, artist support, contest participation, and broader engagement. Invite count does not determine tier by itself.
Daily Streaming Points Activity Caps
| Activity Signal | Daily Streaming Points Cap |
|---|---|
| 0–3 active direct invites | 150 points daily cap |
| 4–9 active direct invites | 250 points daily cap |
| 10–24 active direct invites | 400 points daily cap |
| 25–49 active direct invites | 600 points daily cap |
| 50+ active direct invites | 750 points daily cap |
YUME measures participation using streaming points, daily activity caps, and cultural impact tiers. Caps are anti-abuse limits for verified listening activity, not recruitment ranks. Quality and consistency matter more than repetitive low-value activity - the system rewards genuine music engagement.
Quarterly Tier Thresholds
| Tier | CIS Required |
|---|---|
| Listener | 0 |
| Supporter | 1,000 |
| Advocate | 3,000 |
| Curator | 7,500 |

Members can move up or down every quarter depending on their verified participation. Higher tiers may earn more streaming points per song, which can influence quarterly pool allocation.

This broader scoring approach helps ensure that the Streaming Rewards Pool is tied to real cultural contribution, not only raw stream volume. Listening, discovery, sharing, commerce support, and contest participation can all matter inside the quarter.
