I run an independent music label and I was confused as to why no matter what I did, my Spotify stats always stayed low... No matter how much I shared links on Twitter or other social media sites, month after month, my monthly listeners on Spotify would stay below 20 listeners, despite having published over 30 songs that were well supported on other streaming sites like YouTube and Audiomack... Politics also have a huge effect on even what is shared successfully on the web. Companies go to great links to ensure that you don't leave their platform, which also cuts artists out of pay a lot as well. I also found that Shazam also incorrectly identified many of my songs, and pointed them to music by other artists, that looked like they were getting a lot more plays than me. The only way I could explain it is that things aren't fair. There is money involved, and the people at the top of the food chain work very hard to ensure they make it without any thought of the independent musicians like us. It's sad, but the gap between being listened to and not being listened too is widening greatly despite all the equality the internet originally promised. Luckily I run my own website, where the stats and streams aren't all mysteriously low too.
