I cancelled Spotify when they stopped paying me any royalties on my music. I’m a small time artist and didn’t hit their 1,000 streams per year per song threshold for most of my songs.
I know I am just one small example, but their decision to cheat me out of a few dollars has cost them hundreds in subscription fees.
- m463 1y agohow can they do that? It seems it would be more fair to pay a listing minimum, then royalties if they meet a certain criteria.
- physicles 1y agoWhy would Spotify care about what’s fair?
- m463 1y agoI was thinking more of "fairness/justice" by some authority that is not spotify.
- unnamed76ri 1y agoThey can do it because the hundreds of thousands of artists they did it to can’t afford to sue them. All the big name artists and the record labels (that own part of Spotify) are all benefiting from the scheme so they won’t do anything about it.
