Well you are payed for your work and many of these artist used to be as well not that long ago. The problem with spotify is that only few people make money on it. Dont get me wrong i also enjoy just streaming anything i want but situation for musicians got objectively a lot worse. Spotify taught people not pay for music anymore and youtube is teaching people to not go to concerts anymore. The super popular make a lot money on streaming so they do it and the rest has to be there to even exist for audiences. Its like if you dont have linkedin page you are probably not a real person and certainly not credible job aplicant. You end up with a lot fewer professional musicians. Those who used to make normal salary doing some niche music used to be able to manage with concerts and cd sales. Now they are all doing it as hobby and spotify/google is taking this money.
