Add it to the fact that, quoting from the aa’s blogpost,

≥70% of songs are ones almost no one ever listens to (stream count < 1000).

The vast majority of the artists are to be “stiffed” of like $3 or less per track during the nearest eternity iff every single one of their listeners is to download the archive and only listen to locally saved copies. Which, given spotify tries to do it themselves by recommending (and, likely, creating) ai slop, tells us more about their predatory practices than of anything else
