I'm not a Spotify user, so I will assume they don't already have what I'm going to propose. But I think it would be in Spotify's interest if it started focusing more in indie artists, and maybe even offer a special plan for "indie music", which would promote indie music, and may even give those artists more money because there would be much less indie music to listen to, and because there would be no corporate labels to take their large cuts.
The more indies Spotify gets, the more it can tell labels to go screw themselves if they don't want to take a deal, in the future.
Alternatively, Spotify could also try to do what Netflix is doing with shows and movies and start funding indies through their own label.
