And wrote this:
So Spotify licenses 20M songs. Assume half are never played. The remaining songs split amongst the 2B they've paid out means they're paying an average of $200 per song. Total. To date!
So assume a top seller is earning 100 times that and pocketing 20k for their song and most are earning in the $2 range. Obviously the artists are upset and they should be.
Spotify is the Walmart of streaming music; creating an unsustainable consumption model of greed that is a blight on the earth and the enemy of anything that is decent and just.
