Unless you're a small potato. Approximately 0% of what I pay for spotify goes to the artists I actually listen to. Fucking Taylor Swift and the Beatles estate don't need my money.

As a reasonably known but not super popular bluegrass artist, I agree: please steal my music instead of paying Spotify for it.

Hell, Weird Al himself only made $12 from Spotify views in 2023.
