    Oh, the studios are making enough money. It’s just the artists who get fucked.

      In fact, the studios are probably making as much of the money as Spotify itself, if not more. While the artists get like 0.003 of a penny per stream. That’s fucking ridiculous!

      For all the celebrity status and glamour, their labor and creative output is still being exploited almost as badly as that of “regular” workers.
