    For the big artists at least, it’s because the record labels as well being in cahoots with the streaming services. Having said that, all it takes is a couple of them to actually move to a more equitable platform and it will cause a domino effect. But they won’t, because they’re happy with the status quo. It’s the smaller artists who get the small end of the stick.
