Spotify (unfortunately) made it so that other music platforms had to have a ton of resources to compete. As a result artists became more reliant on Spotify, because that’s where people would conveniently listen. Well turns out now that they own the distribution means they can make the rules, and as we are seeing some of those rules are really unfair.
When it comes to music, I hope that more platforms become popular with diverse terms and business models so that artists have choices.
I use exclusively SoundCloud because I like the creator control more. I find that they provide a platform that is more fair, more social, and spotlight creators more effectively.
