    Yes, there are several other ways to interpret the 1000 streams number. One very plausible way is Spotify’s not trying hard enough with new, unknown artists, as if they just want cheap money. I agree Spotify doesn’t value new artists. I wouldn’t upload music to that shit platform, there are multiple reasons why not to, but that’s another discussion.

      Can we be clear that we aren’t talking about new artists. New artists will probably make the 1000 steam metric and get their $6 of revenue. Were talking about artists who cannot make 1000 views in a year after uploading for a years.
