I’m testing Arena Radio for 7 days to see if the earn while listening thing is actually useful what should I track?

I keep seeing people react strongly whenever a music app says it pays listeners, so I want to run a transparent test instead of just posting a claim.

Arena Radio says listeners earn 1 credit worth $0.01 for every track streamed, with credits usable as cash discounts on in-app merchandise or convertible into Cherut Coin. 1 2 That sounds interesting, but I also know Reddit is the first place people will ask the obvious questions: how much can someone realistically earn, does the music discovery feel good, and is the app actually worth using if you are not just chasing credits?

So I’m going to test it for 7 days and post updates here. I plan to track how many songs I stream, how many credits I earn, how many new artists I discover, how often I skip songs, and whether anything about the experience feels annoying or confusing.

What else should I track so this test is actually useful and not just hype?

If you are skeptical, that is welcome. Drop the hardest question you would want answered by the end of the test.
