Spotify performs as one of the worst when it comes to creator royalties and appropriate pay.
It’s not THE worst, and these numbers have shifted since 2022. The general sentiment (that Spotify stiffs artists) is still shared by the general community.
I’m always surprised that Deezer is still around. Who on earth is still using it?
Also, fuck iHeartRadio. Not for their royalties, but for buying up tons of local stations and stripping them of anything that made them even remotely worth listening to. Fuckers bought the only station in town that played any amounts of metal and turned it into yet another top 10s station

This plot is complete BS, Deezer pays double than spotify.

I used Deezer up until last month, seemed fine to me
This graph is weird. Soundcloud looks like it pays more according to it, but it needs to swap positions with Spotify.
