Spotify Is Coming For Your Royalties in 30 Days

Ima a artist an if this really happens Omm I gotta a few people we on this some how😳🤦🏽‍♂️

Kinda just looks like a screw job. I hope I am wrong.

eff spotify such greedy bastards @spotify

The most fair way would be to split royalties from their listeners by percentage. E.g. if I listen to 2 bands on Spotify per month and listen to them for roughly the same amount of time out of my £10 subscription each artist gets £3.50 and Spotify takes it normal 30%.

Everything that the internet was supposed to be good for is being inverted

Rich get richer

Good thing I have all my music registered with BMI, Songtrust, SoundExchange, etc. so I can guarantee earning actual royalties! Stop relying on these streaming services to pay you when they're literally pocketing your money and laughing.

It should be also free to upload to spotify then. Cause i have a label account that cost 200 euros a years so now your going to pay for distribution with no way to be sure you will get payed

Power moves

" Meet the new boss, same as the old boss".

Sheepify….

When I release music I no longer include Spotify

Everyone talking about it but realize non of these people who make these videos are letting people know about artists they personally like. Don't give me a damn course if you wish to save music give me people who YOU feel has good music share that make view money off that. But let me guess your pride gonna say FK these artist who work day in day out grinding only making half a penny while nobody believes in them or are going to help them Fk giving back to the music community i work harder for my empire but here’s a course you may or may use cheer🤷‍♂️…fkin BS you give shit about the state of music

Little late to this party, but just got this video up in my feed.

The first feeling I get when hearing about this, is a sudden urge to stop making music. If Spotify does this upon thousands of independent artists, then is it worth to try to make a living out of something you really enjoy?

But I also see it through the eyes of Spotify. Last week Taylor Swift released her album 1989 (Taylor's Version), a re-release of her 1989 album. This album broke the Spotify record of all time listens of an album on release day. At the same time, multiple music labels went out saying they will change the deals for new artists signing, saying the artist can't make a new edition of an album after 15-20 years insted of the 3-7 years that's industry standard now. Music labels wants their money, but they can't get any money if an artist releases a new edition-album outside of the label they were signed to. So what do the labels do? They go for the source, and try to make a deal with streaming platforms such as Spotify.

Spotify reveals this news the same week as Taylor breaks the record for all time listeners. Coincidence? In my eyes; no. Spotify have been given the task to be a gatekeeper for the music industry, and taken it's role very seriously. At least that's my experience of it since I started putting out music. The job of gatekeeping was something the music labels had until Spotify launched, and now Spotify has taken it a step further. If they release this new payroll policy, they will keep a whole lot of dedicated musicians in the shadows, making it even harder to break through for new acts. And how is this great news for Spotify?
1) Daniel Ek will fill his pockets even more, taking money from independent artists.
2) The big music labels will once again start gate keeping, meaning only the biggest artists in the world will make a living out of making music.
3) We "hobby musicians" will be left with nothing

If Spotify decides to do this, I will re-think my dream of making a living out of my music. I already find it impossible to figure out how to get listeners, how to market my music, and how to write a great pitch. So, yeah, let's all go for take from the poor and give to the rich. Seems like that's the plan for the whole world at the moment.

I feel so sorry for working musicians.
I hear A million spins gets you what?
100 million makes what?

Spotify’s new update is the worst update ever. In India, on Play Store, their rating is dropping quickly. One week ago, their rating was almost 4.2, but today it has gone down to 1.9.

I think eventually they will only allow label signed (indie or major) artist to be on the site. Truthfully, Spotify was never really for unsigned artists anyway. If you don't already have a massive following that's listening on there then you don't matter. There are better sites that do help and cater to unsigned acts. This definitively isn't one of them.

I hate Spotify! I am making music since 23 yrs now and my stuff isn't on Spotify, because I got pride in what I do!

0.0013 Cent is an absolute JOKE!

Sadly music can be generated today and became fast food.

I don't really focus myself on making an album a year besides working a regular job as I did years ago.

Very good and informative video. ❤I have bo further comment.
