While Spotify doesn’t make artists much money at all, I think the focus should really be on the record labels. Labels are dinosaurs and really have no business being so prolific in today’s music industry. If I had to choose between waging war on Spotify or labels, I’d be coming for the labels first.
And concerning Spotify: I read they pay an artist at most a third of a cent per streamed song. I think they’re ripping off the artists.
