It also says marketing, so who knows how much of that is actually for research and development.
I imagine spotify could research how to make their data centers and delivery more efficient, music suggestion algorithms, or just in general how to best retain and aquire new customers.
I release independently and I earned a whopping $43 for 50k+ streams (so far). Sure, 50k isn’t much compared to mainstream artists, but $43 isn’t much either.
That’s about what YouTube creators would get for the same amount of hits, which still doesn’t make it a lot but I think it’s an interesting comparison.
And still underpaying the artists compared to Apple Music

It’s revenue share with the record labels. If those labels don’t pay the artists well that’s a different issue.
