Spotify has definitely helped me to discover new artists, but then I mostly listen to that artist on Spotify (Mostly because I’m not in their country.)
Comment on "Sponsored recommendations": I pay for Spotify Premium, and yet somehow I'm still the product?
JimmyDean@lemm.ee 10 months agoIn a past thread on this topic, I’ve seen a few indie artists say that they benefit because Spotify amplifies their audience. They make crap on the streams, but a larger audience base is worth the trade-off since they’ll be able to sell more concert tickets and merchandise.

One of my arguments is that inde artists and creators are as responsible for the enshitification of the internet as companies like google and Facebook are. They both are invested in turning making the internet into some global bazaar instead of a library

Honestly spotify should really let small artists make their pages more interesting.
