> Perhaps Spotify overheads are too high,

Its says 70% of revenues, so even if they reduced overheads and their profit to zero artists would only get 42% more.

> perhaps that 70% goes to the wrong people.

Possibly. Who are the wrong and right people? Some people get a lot:

If I spend £10 and listen to only Lily Allen I would expect her to get £7

If you spent £10 and listen to only Taylor Swift I’d expect her to also get £7

Howver I believe if I listen to Lily for 10 hours in the month and you listen to Taylor for 90 hours, then instead Taylor gets 90% of the £14 (£12.80) and Lily gets 10% (£1.40)

That doesn’t seem right.
