Considering how much Spotify pays artists per listens, piracy is barely any different in that regard.

    This is the most upsetting part. If you're a solo artist without a label, you need what's essentially a million listens to break minimum wage. For bands, and anyone with a label, even that's practically out of question. This shit is why everyone sells 75$ t-shirts at shows
