Yup, I also don't think it's Spotify's responsibility to make sure recording artists are making a "fair living".
Comparing the average Spotify artist's earnings to a Spotify is comparing apples and oranges.
Successful artist's (except the top 5% maybe) aren't making fortunes off of streaming services. They make money from merch, touring, endorsements, and physical sales (although dwindling).
This article is a cringe filled, immature rant. The author didn't expose a flaw or put the execs in their place, he threw a tantrum in the name of justice. Work on a real solution instead of bragging about how you got invited to a closed door meeting and threw a fit.
