Spotify gets artists music and name out there to hundreds of millions of people, people who become fans and buy their merch and go to their concerts - that’s where artists make music, NOT from album sales. The music from album sales basically all goes to the label and all the partners.
Spotify is good for artists.
I’d like to hear what exactly you disagree with. Do you think album sales actually provide lots of money for the actual artists, despite many many many of even the biggest artists around saying the opposite?
