I agree 100% but it's not really up to spotify - it was the rights holders who wanted it that way. Some label execs have come out in favor of the user-centric model, but as long as some labels make more money off the per-stream model, they will block the change. I believe spotify themselves would prefer the user-centric model, as it would alleviate their fraud-bot problem.
- rahkiin 2y agoThis exactly, and it is not often enough mentioned when there are protests in the newss. Big record companies get more money if smaller artists get less money. So anything that is ‘more fair to (smaller/indie) artists’ is worse for record companies and they hold the cards.
