Additionally, when you listen to an artist on Spotify or YT Music, it increases the chance of the app promoting that artist to other users.
Comment on Spotify re-invented the radio
Havald@lemmy.world 8 months agoThere is still a difference between basically nothing and literally nothing. Spotify is better than pirating and CDs/vinyl/digital directly from them is better than Spotify.

Relying on an algorithm is a lie when record labels can just circumvent that with money.

Remember, we’re distinguishing between “basically nothing” and “literally nothing”.

That tracks. Every artist who spoke to me about this (I’m kind of a hobby musician) told me a) fuck labels, not worth it, b) Promotion is 95% of the game and you have to master it yourself, c) no money in Spotify except for the top .1% or so percent, the money always comes from gigs or shows so starting live early is a good idea.
