While that’s definitely true it’s not like there are any streaming platforms paying artists what they actually deserve. Other streaming services do payout slightly more per stream but they also don’t have the number of paying users Spotify has. So you’re likely going to make more off of spotify than any other service even if they do payout less per stream.
Not defending spotify though. Them and the record labels are absolute scum. Just making the point that if you want artists to benefit from you listening to their music just buy their music outright. Or go see them live if you can. Don’t stream it. Because streaming pays basically nothing no matter where you stream it from.
Spotify is worse not really beacuse it pays less but due to the way it pays the artist where all streams are pooled together.
That incetivizes bot farms way too much and is the main reason i even tried anything else( tidal but i really didint like it so i got back ) . It really should have a model where your money goes to the artists you listened.
In defence of spotify tho changing it is likely pain in the arse. Well not technicaly but i imagine they have countless contracts where the way of profit sahring is stated and would violate the agreement.
