    The change exclude payouts that are under 1 cent or something like that. The news got hijacked by click and rage baiters like this title by the Guardian (which I won’t link):

    Spotify made £56m profit, but has decided not to pay smaller artists

    The smaller artists would literally get single digit cents! The Spotify hate is getting astroturfed hard it almost seems.

      You say that like it’s a defense though.

      Yeah they’re paying the people who make the product we sell so little that they don’t even get enough money in a paycheck to have it be worth sending them a paycheck!!
