    Wooh. 👀. This isn’t Spotify’s fault. They can’t pay artists if they don’t have money.

      To be fair- Spotify priced the service that doesn’t make enough profit to pay artists adequately.

        Like the article explains, they can’t price their services too expensively, because of competition. If Spotify becomes $25/month, most users will move to Apple Music or YouTube Music, etc.

      Yes, it is. It’s entirely spotifies making. It’s the situation spotify has created. And the answer is absolutely not ‘starve artists even more than we do today’.

      Haha. Don’t be shocked by the reaction. We live in a world where a certain portion of ‘people’ Believe every thing should be free and corporations don’t need money at all and should just be willed in to existence and live off of the ether.

      Etc. Etc. Rich people bad
