    This is why I thought some of their recent actions that hurt the lowest played artists was strange, you want to encourage artists to NOT use the big publishers to help break their triopoly.

    I think the most recent changes are fine in practice, but the optics are not great which probably matters a lot.

      Even the smallest artists are making more than 1000 streams yearly. The only ones they are hurting are AI generated songs.

        FYI it’s 1000 per track per year, not per artist.

        I agree though, I went through my instrumental playlist which has loads of indi stuff and the smallest I found had 10,000 plays
