Comment on Spotify doesn't make profit from music streaming, despite having over 400M monthly active users, because it pays two-thirds of all its revenue to the rights holders.

  Yes, and they don’t deserve a market if they can’t pay artists to make the content. They should not exist if they can’t do that.

    That just leaves us nowhere to go though. We know artists aren't paid enough, but if our only answer is the one that clearly takes them out of business, then it's just sitting on a soapbox while another company comes in and does the same thing.

    Either the solution has to be feasible or someone will eventually show up to ignore it.

      You can buy music. You can use subscription services that are less shit to artists.

        I do buy music.

        I know most people don't and won't though.
