for those of us already making nothing from spotify, maybe this does help with exposure, but they’ll actually have to add small artists to the big playlists and i have yet to see more than a handful of examples.
i read something the other day about the about deezer (i think, could be wrong about the platform) using a model where a subscriber pays their monthly fee and that fee is divided specifically between the artists they listen to, instead of kicking that money into a pool that ends up mostly being paid to a very small percentage of very popular artists. seems like a much better system and a step in the right direction.
