Because apparently these servers cost enough that even with 400mil users they aren't making profit? The point of Spotify is giving paying customers what they want so that hopefully Spotify can make a profit. Unsure why that's so unacceptable for you? And small artists have been paid like shit long before Spotify was an idea. Take that up with the actual music industry. Or maybe accept that turning your hobby (making music) into a job just doesn't pay the bills for everybody that tries. I have no idea how you can blame Spotify for payouts bigger than on YouTube or Twitch when it's the music industry fucking with the numbers.
Many of their executives make over $300,000 and the CEO is a billionaire. I don't know how you can't blame Spotify for payouts.
