Spotify raped musicians, just to turn around and give podcasters all the money

i wholeheartedly disagree with this take and would love to see the numbers to back it up.

The one raping musicians is and has always been the record companies.

And if you include indie musicians in this, spotify has given them a lifeline that did not even exist in the 90s.

Nah i think this is a trash take but i gotta see the numbers first

 

[Strapped]

Don't put your music on Spotify

 

[Turbulent]

They are mad as fukk

 

[Booker T Garvey]

That's an extremely good point, the same can be said for VH1 too

 

[ajnapoleon]

If i was a artist I would want to be paid to go on podcast


That would kill it quick

Nah fam, these streaming rates apply to both indie and major label artist and they are effing rip offs. Hell Pharrell broke sales records in streaming with Blurred Lines and only got a 2500 dollar check for being a songwriter. Musicians power Spotify. THe INTERNET gave us a platform. Spotify is just one of many options we have. It's not the best but it's one of the most popular hence it's reputation and money. But the streaming game is fukked up financially for all artist. Most make their bread from shows and placements

artists don't already get paid to be on podcasts?

 

[Jekyll]

None of them artists sign deals directly with Spotify. Isn't Drake like one of the only ones signed to a streaming provider?

[Take It In Blood]

you'd never expect these artist to be poor with the way they seem to always flaunt their wealth in music videos

not worried about em

 

[Cladyclad]

Sell your music exclusively to Spotify. Take it off every other streaming service and get a bag that way lol

 

[Vilify]

Damn that's the truth.
I bet 90% of people (including myself) subscribe to Spotify for music and have no idea they're subsidizing podcasts from the likes of Joe Rogan.

It is why I pirate music . On principle, I refuse to put money in the hands of these corporations who are robbing the talent blind.
