Spotify pays the rightsholders. What are they supposed to do about the shitty contracts that the artists signs with the labels? | ||||||||

I am providing my own music on Spotify via a distributor I a pay 50 Euros once. What do I get from Spotify? Basically nothing! It is not the rightholders as I am the rightholder! Spotify is a scam for artist. | ||||||||

They don't pay any artist who has less than 1000/Streams per Song per Year. They also deliberately choose a model which favours big artists, where they split the compensation just by the plays instead of User Centric Payments. Either way I don't feel bad about the Labels or Spotify. If I want to support an artist I buy their music, go to a concert or buy merch. I've had a Spotify Subscription, but that got cancelled as I didn't agree to the recent Price Hike, as I wasn't interested in paying for AudioBooks I don't care about. Now I'm rolling with YouTubeMusic and I am looking for a less shitty alternative | ||||||||
