Is this actually that Spotify doesn't want to have to qualify value? Remuneration equal across regions? Oof being equitable could get expensive!

They'd rather pay 200 mil to people like Joe Rogan. It doesn't matter how you look at that deal, he's not worth that much, and there would be 0% chance of getting that money back (thats a lot of additional subscriptions)

Free market.... always look for more ethical options that still fit your music. An ideal platform would be Audius. It's built on blockchain technology but is limited with music content. It would be the perfect way to allow artists to make a living and get rid of the record label kingpins and Spotify pimps forever!

Fuck Spotify. If you don't want to be a 40 year old and buy albums, Deezer and Tidal pay much larger royalties than Spotify.
