🎧 How I Feel About Spotify Helping Artists

How Spotify DOES help artists

1. Exposure & discovery
Spotify can introduce an unknown artist to thousands of listeners through playlists, algorithm recommendations, and radio features.

2. Global reach
An artist in the U.S. can be streamed instantly by someone in Brazil, Japan, or Europe. No gatekeepers.

3. Data & analytics
Spotify for Artists gives useful insights:
– where fans live
– which songs perform best
– which playlists drive traffic

This helps artists plan tours, marketing, and releases.

4. Instant distribution
It's easy to upload music and share it across platforms.

Where Spotify does NOT help artists

1. Extremely low payouts
Artists make fractions of a penny per stream.
Most independent artists cannot make a living from streams alone.

2. Dependence on playlists
If you’re not playlisted, it's hard to get real traction.

3. No direct fan-to-artist revenue
Spotify pays distributors — not artists directly.
Artists wait months for payments.
There is no way to set your own prices or sell directly.

4. Oversaturation
With tens of thousands of songs uploaded daily, Spotify is crowded, making discovery harder than ever.

🌟 What artists truly need (that Spotify doesn’t offer)

  • Instant payouts

  • Direct-to-fan sales

  • Ownership of their audience

  • A way to make real money per song or album

  • Tools that reward active fans who want to pay

  • Monetization at live shows

This is exactly why many artists are turning to platforms that give them control — like Uru Uru, where they keep 100% of every sale and get paid immediately through Stripe.
