For several years now, the favorite sport of those who use music streaming tools has been throwing mud at Spotify and everything surrounding it. Not that Spotify is blameless; it has greatly worsened the quality of the user experience in the app, and for many, having music, audiobooks, podcasts, and videos all in one place is rather confusing.

Lately, the main topic, supported by screenshots of dubious origin, is how little Spotify pays for streaming a song. Finally, a reliable source from within the music world arrives, someone who can be trusted when it comes to these topics. Bob Lefsetz debunks this crazy narrative:

But when the hoi polloi are not bitching about the majors, they can't stop complaining about Spotify. The biggest and most innovative streamer out there. Maybe because unlike their big competitors they can't depend upon other income streams to support the effort. Spotify is not selling computers or shipping detergent, and Spotify is so good that it has the largest number of subscribers.

So why does Apple pay more per stream?

IT DOESN'T!!!

I care little about which platform is your reference. What's certain is that it would always be better to get informed beforehand and be sure of what you're claiming.
