Shouldn't video creators get some percentage too?
As audio is only 50% of created work.
I'v seen many times where a good video raised a popularity of some song, therefore i think video creators deserve some percentage.
Plus, this would also allow creation of job of "music festival reporter" , which at the moment does not have any way to monetize it unless you work for magazine.
As the original song writer, that can be like paying someone to do a bad job of fucking your wife.
Why pay people to do shitty renditions of your music on youtube?
