It also says marketing, so who knows how much of that is actually for research and development.
I imagine spotify could research how to make their data centers and delivery more efficient, music suggestion algorithms, or just in general how to best retain and aquire new customers.
I release independently and I earned a whopping $43 for 50k+ streams (so far). Sure, 50k isn’t much compared to mainstream artists, but $43 isn’t much either.
It’s revenue share based on how many streams you get. Big record labels can probably negotiate a better share, but if you sign to one there’s no guarantee you will actually see that extra money.
Record labels ripping off music artists was incredibly common in the time before streaming, so I imagine it still is today.
And still underpaying the artists compared to Apple Music
And still operating at a loss of 302 million euro. Consumers get price hikes, artists get peanuts, and Spotify is bleeding money. Who’s winning here?
What did they research then lol

How to make the most annoying, shitty player with no options and customizability which lags on any device. Money please!
It’s revenue share with the record labels. If those labels don’t pay the artists well that’s a different issue.
