Re:Spotify Will End Service in Uruguay Due to Bill Requiring... by rtsil on Thursday November 23, 2023 @08:57AM (#38392790)
Their current split favors big artists. 90% of the music I listen to is jazz and classic, and if I was on Spotify (I use Qobuz instead), 90% of my subscription (minus Spotify's share) wouldn't go to these artists, instead most of it would go to the most popular artists on Spotify. That's not fair, I am de facto subsidizing the biggest artists, even if I don't listen to them, while the artists I like receive less.

And there's the fact that the payment per stream is low on Spotify compared to Qobuz or Tidal.
