Yeah, but as I musician they pay you next to nothing unless you're already on top anyways. I know touring musicians who can comfortably live from their physical record/merch sales who say they can basically ignore their spotify revenue since they earn more with their merch sales on one concert than they earn during a whole year of running on spotify.

So if you care about your musicians consider seeking out other ways to get your records, e.g. bandcamp

More like "as a musician they pay you literally nothing for a song unless it receives 1000 streams/12 months". This is total bullshit for small musicians.
