If you hate spotify you must really hate how radio pays out.

I live in Croatia; here we have other problems but essentially; radio pays good. There’s a private little kartel happening but - the ones that get airplay, those are solid.

Spotify is available internationally so it’s our problem too.

In America the performers do not get radio payments. Only the publisher and songwriter.

Also

The per-play royalty rate for songwriters is very small, around $0.0021 per listener or per spin, and varies by station revenue and play frequency.

Spotify

Spotify doesn't have a fixed pay-per-play rate, but typically pays artists an average of $0.003 to $0.005 per stream
