Out of all the music streaming services, spotify pays artists the least. A Qobuz subscription costs less, and they pay ~10x more to artists per listen.

Spotify is also an evil company, using their profits to promote right wing podcasts (like the Joe Rogan one), to pay for pro-israeli stuff, and to subsidize AI and surveillance companies.

Actually they pay the most

Spotify has reported a record payout of $10 billion (A$15.4 billion) in royalties to the music industry for 2024, marking the largest annual payment from a single retailer in history.
