Doesn't DistroKid (or CDBaby) cost like $20? Last time I looked to upload something, that's the price I saw.

Why does it cost anything? Imagine if to upload to YouTube you had to pay a company that's an arm of Paramount Pictures $20.

		But that's not the same as "you need a label because you can't self-publish on Spotify". You can if you have $20, so that's not a reason why we don't see more successful self-published artists.
