Bad take. Spotify shafts artists very hard and rips off users frequently. The only reason they haven't enshittified yet is because they are free from the interest rate mania going on in the US (they are a EU based company) and their actual customers are the music labels, not the final listener. So the final power is in the hands of the music executives not Spotify themselves, unlike with US tech giants that hold all the power against regular citizens. Look at what they want to do with podcasts for a glimpse of their future potential for enshittification.
It could work. Say the steaming platform takes a 10-15% cut for servers, staff etc. The rest of the user's $10/month flat fee get divided up to the artists based on listening time.
how are users ripped off?
