Spotify CEO explains issue of artists' pay, says it's "hard to change the narrative"

Spotify is doing what their best at.
It all comes Down to Artists distribution companies/labels.
There are many Independent Artists on Spotify and other streaming platforms who keep 100% of the streaming and sales revenue.

Pay artists more, Spotify. Charging us a $1 more, but you can't even pay musicians that make you that premium what they're worth.

They talk about diversity, but in fact, they promote just blacks and women. There is just 10% of European mans on covers and playlist. Thats called rasism and sexism

Music is a culture it’s not just bumping trombones in your ears with rhythm. I want to listen what I want to listen, not what the app suggests me completely. I need 25-40% of suggestions not like 90%

Gayle is soo corny

Narrow the CHANGE 👀 👀

Gayle didn't really do a hard interview on this fellow at all. No matter what he says artists are getting the super short end of the stick unless, they are so big they have their own contract with Spotify. News flash LPs just passed CD sales. People want their own personally owned copy of the music & artists to get a bigger piece of pie when they sell those LPs to people!

PAY FOR YOUR MUSIC. Spotify can suck it.

No Spotify for me personally, interesting segment, however…

I removed the app a year ago and won't go back pay people fairly

Artificial Intelligence DJs. "It's about connection." To a robot.

gayle has lost her touch she seems old and outdated as a journalist not to mention her debacle and affliation with meghan markle poor gayle and that wig? seriously >?

People are still crying over Joe Rogan's alleged racist remark. Unbelievable.

Holy puff piece

Another Corporate PR piece. What happened to CBS News?

Hey Spotify, 99% of all users see this change negatively, hardly anyone will love it! Why don't you listen to your paying customers for a change instead of bringing such crap and pushing these superfluous podcasts.

I don't see this crap in the app yet, but if it comes and I can't turn it off, I'm gone forever and switching to Apple Music!!!!

we need hifi and lossless

The media's selective outrage on Joe Rogan always makes me laugh. No one tries to cancel people who bash christians or muslims. Makes me scratch my head🤔

We don't need tik tok & social media app, we want audio streaming app.

You want to change the music industry? Pay artists for our music in more than just tents of a cent(s). Yes, I said that correctly. Most artists don't even make over 2 cents per stream and I'm not sure any artist makes 25 cents per. The general public has no idea how much the digital music industry screws the artist. That's why concert tickets are so expensive these days it's the only way for artists to make real compensation.

YT Music is much better. Spotify is in real trouble. So tough to make money in that game. You can tell the guy is worn down by the censorship twits. What a low-ball interviewer, trying to blame him for all of that. To set him up like that. 'What about Joe Rogan? Does he get to stay? He's mean. And her horrible Lifesavers, too tight dress - The whole deal is plastic. I never liked the interface of Spotify and I hate the idea of a DJ - They would drive me nuts. That's what random is for.

Amazing.

He excluding confidence before the question was post about royalties to artist..but his tone was less than..I wouldn't support a program.

Does JLO need help with being discovered? Anyway, I love Spotify! I started building a curated list and it just filled in the blanks in a magical way that just leaves me speechless.

Mo’ money, mo’ money, mo’ money for MEEEEEE and NOT the artists. This is Steve Jobs-esque PR

I don't care about any of this I just want HIFI

Spotify has many listeners but it NEVER makes any money.

Quite enlightening & I really appreciate his candor, but I wished he would've touched upon indie musicians who own the rights to their own music & use distribution services, also the power of curators who can dictate how much exposure particular music can get on Spotify, but of course there's only so much interview time.

how about you pay artist and producers fairly thief... no one cares about these weak add ons

look at this thief smh

I believe Neil. ✊🏼

Where is HiFi? The people want HiFi!

knock knock... YOU: "Who's There?" Bad Weather, Climate Change, Atmospheric Rivers, Massive Glacier Melts, Arctic Cold Snaps, Endless Heat Waves & Torrential Rain.. YOU: "R you selling Girl Scout Cookies?"

knock knock... YOU: "Who's There?" that was another ancient tree falling.
knock knock... YOU: "Who's There?" that was another forest on fire.

I hope you all understand what I just said...
SPOTIFY.... it's for suckers make ppl happy, just don't look in this direction as we CONSUME ALL OUR NATURAL RESOURCES

SPOTIFY.... it was introduced (innocently) as a Music Stream to solve a THEFT ISSUE... but the Consumer won out... and NOW WE are All Complicit in a SCHEME to Destroy Our Environment.. (not funny)

living in the past

Have a Mick Jagger in your band to diversify your income, or your finished. Tech has scavenged everything else.

Spotify has explicit warnings on songs that don't contain explicit lyrics

Neil young > Joe Rogan

Joe Rogan is trash. Anyone the right loves is trash sorry. They feed you lies and you guys eat it up lol for white people who think their DNA is superior you guys sure aren’t smart or check your sources 😂

You don't even listen to Joe Rogan you just make useless sound bites. Your stupid platform is way more dangerous.

Stop slamming Joe Rogan!
