Isn't this also on the Publishers? They get paid first before the artist.
Spotify is usually reported as one of the worst paying for the artists.
They also don't distribute the value by time listened, but pool in and award the largest artists (don't remember the specifics, you might need to look it up).
They were also found/accused of using their auto generated playlists with made-up artists who's money goes to 'noone', just shady stuff.
I left when I saw how much of our money they gave to Joe Rogan to punch down on trans people. Already paying for YouTube pro for years and finally took advantage of their music app. It's been great. My car and every Google screen in the house have native support. The only disadvantage is everything from tinder to open source crap I run at home only integrate with Spotify.
Already paying for YouTube pro
lost me in the second half
What open source stuff? Asking for a friend
Streaming services don't support artists in any meaningful way.
Instead, buy music for download when it's available (Bandcamp and the like).
If not possible, just pirate it and buy merchandise or go to a concert. You will bring as much revenue to the artists this way, than listening to them on Spotify for 200 years non stop, and it will be cheaper for you in the end.
