Spotify is a creature of Silicon valley and I repeat over and over is not part of the music industry. Spotify is a data company. Go to their I.P.O paperwork. The whole puff P.R pieces that are about Spotify `that are still being published about how Spotify saved the music industry which I laugh at!! Napster.... A product of Silicon valley started the process of devaluing recorded music. I started my Independent label the same year! I have lived through from a business perspective. All of this fair and democratic balderdash that is constantly put out about how Spotify has made it possible for artists.... now creators to have a fair shot is such a high octane lie! The stats prove this. At the end of the day Spotify does not invest in the artist. Spotify is added layer...aka the middle man. I am so disgusted with this process that I am writing a 4 part series on the music game.
