That’s not how Spotify works. Instead a lot of it goes to Taylor Swift, who I don’t listen to.
- Arkhaine_kupo 3y agoEven worse like 90% of the money comes from paid users, but most of the streams comes from free users with ads. Some some barber shop is playing drake 24/7 having ads and 16£ of you 17£ are going to drake because you only listened to Bob bobson 20 minutes today instead of 23 hours:59 minutes like the barber shop. The pay model is ridiculous, every update is terrible and there is no mechanism to let the company know they are running the product into the ground. It used to be heaven for power users,now if they simplify it any more the app will just pick what it thinks you should listen to, give the money to ed sheeran regardless of what you end up listening to and not even let you pause cause an extra button might be too complicated for you.
