As a musician, Spotify is the best thing to happen to musicians. Imagine trying to distribute your shit via burned CDs you made yourself. The entitlement of thinking "I have a garage band and Spotify isn't paying me enough" is fucking ridiculous. 99.99% of bands have never made it. The ability to easily distribute your music worldwide is crazy. If people don't like it, you're either bad at marketing, or, more likely, your music is average at best. It's a big world.

- bongodongobob 2y agoI have multiple Spotify artists. I get it and think it's a fantastic service. Anyone complaining about it probably gets a couple dozen monthly plays because they don't know how to market, gig, and tour, or more likely their music sucks.
- insane_dreamer 2y agoSpotify pays $400 a month for 100,000 streams[0]. And that may be split between the artist and a publisher if the artist went through one (probably not if they're small). So an artist has to be extremely popular to get any real money from streaming. The way smaller artists make money is through live gigs (nothing wrong with that).
