4. Don't pay for the service and block the ads :)

That said... Go with #3 everyone. Spotify is horrible for artists.

Correction: The labels are horrible for artists, Spotify payouts are just a symptom of the way labels rip every penny out of the artist.

We don't blame the knife when someone stabs another. Spotify is just another player in this diseased game. They are part of the problem, not a symptom of it.

This is coming from someone who has followed and evangelized Spotify since the beginning, way back when Ludvig joined and it was still P2P.
