Ok, I've watched the little intro video now and I dislike what's going on with this app even more.
Firstly, they are misrepresenting themselves as 'community radio'. No fucking way are they 'community radio'. Fountain is a corporate entity, backed by Venture Capital, including dodgy Mr Pompliano, who will want their payout and continuing revenue stream.
And fees, fees, fees. Fees to 'boost' a track. Fees to add a track to the queue. It's a return to payola radio. And as I've previously pointed out, poxy fees for a 'premium subscription'.
Meet the new boss, same as the old boss.
if you don't charge a fee for adding tracks to the queue then artists can just add themselves for free and it defeats the point

Interesting, thanks for providing source. Fee is 1%. If a lower fee is possible, or a better model, the market should be able to provide it.
