Spotify claims to empower artists, but its system prioritizes profit and algorithms over fairness. Artists earn less than $0.004 per stream—barely enough to survive—while CEO Daniel Ek is a billionaire. Ek views music as “content,” pressuring musicians to constantly release work just to stay relevant in the algorithm.
Their “Discovery Mode” lets artists trade lower royalties for playlist exposure—a digital-age payola. Spotify also floods playlists with stock “fake artist” music to avoid paying real creators.
Ek has invested over €600 million in Helsing, a military AI firm, drawing outrage from musicians who see music as a force for peace, not war.
Spotify’s algorithm pushes generic, mood-based background music—what critics call “Spotifycore”—favoring quantity over artistry. Real creativity is buried under a sea of beige.
Spotify isn’t a music company—it’s a tech platform that treats artists as content mills and culture as a metric to optimize. We deserve better.
