Perhaps Spotify overheads are too high, perhaps that 70% goes to the wrong people.
Certainly in my view the disbursement is very wrong. I spend £20 a month and listen for one hour a day. if I listen to 4 artists equally (either by number or by seconds) then each of those 4 artists should get 70% of £5 a month each.
That’s not how it works though, and I fund artists I’m not interested in and never listen to, who are listened to for 8 hours a day by others
