Spotify doesn’t pay artists… this is why

Why Spotify doesn’t pay artists: the honest truth! I look at why artists like Taylor Swift and Eve 6 say Spotify doesn’t pay musicians. I cover the history of streaming from Lars of Metallica vs Napster to the rise of Spotify, Deezer, and Amazon; how much artists actually make from Spotify streams; how much labels take; and what we can do to help musicians get paid more from Spotify.
