Below is a screenshot of my #music release stats in the #Spotify #OneAloner artist's dashboard. Only two tracks out of two dozen now will collect any pennies: |
On the one hand, I don't care, I don't aspire to be a popular artist and earning money from #music is just a nice bonus for me.
On the other hand, those who remain niche or are just starting their career in music care about it. #Spotify itself happily reports that 86% of its library is made up of that tracks and their tiny indie platform with giant capitalization has a "hard time" paying small artists for their modest but still work.
