disregarding some inaccuracies such as that musicians are in fact paid "a fraction of penny" per listen as opposed to in total (which she implies), and that a handful of artists are probably nearing joe rogan sums of spotify money, this is a pretty good point. sends a message about what music as an art is worth, i suppose. same point made in the abovementioned new yorker article.
there was this joke in a swedish tv show recently on how most cultural news shows are in fact entertainment news shows and should be named as such (e.g. is it cultural or entertainment news that kanye and kim broke up or that rihanna is pregnant? i'd wager the latter alternative). this reminds me of that. spotify is, in the end, more interested in entertainment than they are in culture
