Publishers don't just get a little cut... they get a LOT of cut.
I've long maintained that the "Spotify fucks over musicians" angle is cleverly positioned to hide the "record labels fuck over musicians the same as they always have for 50+ years" angle. Because the big record labels are still doing great in the streaming era!
