Wait, so we all hate, or should hate Spotify for the low support for artists, but now that I think about it, there is nothing stopping artists from putting their work in the other platforms as well, are they becoming more rich because of it and we just should go with whichever offers the best service for us?
Don't be harsh on me, I am not defending Spotify at all, just a dumb realization while seeing this graph ๐
I have no idea on the numbers, but given just how huge Spotify is compared to the others, I wonder if record labels just don't see the worth in additionally posting to the other non major platforms like Tidal. Sure it pays ~3x more but it likely has ~50x less users.
Edit: I just wanted tildes before my numbers, I put a backslash before them to cancel them out as formatting codes, but now it just renders as <sub>. If anyone can tell me how I should fix this please tell me
