Who are we talking about here? More total money is spent on music now due to spotify. And the money has never been that widely distributed. What small artists did better before Spotify?
- llbeansandrice 3y agoIt’s not viable for journalism bc music artists have other avenues of revenue like touring and merch. The point is that even Taylor Swift doesn’t make very much money from Spotify. What other sources of revenue does journalism have? It’s not like the NYT is going to make a few million going on tour.
- osigurdson 3y agoSpotify has a lot of revenues with millions of users at $10 - $20 per month. Perhaps they give very little to artists but I’m not sure it is necessary to operate. If artists had no other ways to make money, I suspect they would pay more as otherwise the system wouldn’t work.
- osigurdson 3y agoI agree. I spend far more that I used to because of the option to listen to anything I want.
