It seems that Spotiy’s threat to defund smaller artists didn’t come to pass. I just got paid for my February streams on Spotify. Not much but every little bit counts. I still direct my listeners to other platforms as payouts on other platforms are 25 to 2000% better. The Spotify payout is now down to $.0027 per stream, even Apple does better at $.004 per stream. Spotify’s payout is down fron $.0043 per stream 4 years ago, a 38% decrease by my reckoning. Beatport pays $.08 per stream. I now get significant streams from 18 streaming services. That’s all for now. Stay tuned.
