Oddbean new post about login | logout Can someone explain why people hate Spotify, bur not Apple Music or Youtube? I need to hear it make sense, because as an artist the only streaming royalties I get are from Spotify and I want to understand where the problems start.. Because no other platform has sent me a dime other than Bandcamp direct sales, but Spotify consistently returns small payments.
I get that we as artists should make MORE money on it, but why the specific Spotify hatred? Why not Youtube, where they never pay anything but can find time to put ads on every video? Why not Apple Music which is so global but never sends a penny? Please explain because y'all.. it hurts to hear how many people refuse to use Spotify, it feels like a "fuck you, you don't need ANY of your royalties".
