Let me tell you, as a musician and artist, the miniscule portion provided to the artists who supply the content is a travesty and a crime. This new partnership only serves to add more hands in the pie and squeeze out any hope of increases for the content creators. Every time you click on Spotify you are fueling the beast. I make more money selling one vinyl record at one live gig than I will make on Spotify for months. All of this is great news except for the little guys!!!
