Why artists on Spotify are not treated the same as Uber drivers? They are in fact employees providing content for the platform. From that perspective, Spotify should be paying at least a minimum wage for every artist signed on to the platform, plus any streaming money as a bonus.
There is also a problem that some artists (from major labels) get more money than small artists for the same number of streams. I think this should be looked into by a regulator. The same way as workers doing the same job should be paid the same salary, artists should be receiving the same money per stream.
