"Spotify officially announced that it has expanded access to Discovery Mode, a contentious program that gives artists the chance to gain more algorithmic exposure on the platform — through Spotify Radio and autoplay — in exchange for a lower royalty rate"

“To ensure the tool is accessible to artists at any stage of their careers, it won’t require any upfront budget,” Spotify wrote in its blog post. “Instead, labels or rights holders agree to be paid a promotional recording royalty rate for streams in personalized listening sessions where we provided this service.”

why and how anyone who isn't established would take an even LOWER royalty rate I have no idea

at this point just make the ability to outright pay lump-sums for visibility or placements this barely even makes sense by company profitability standards

last sentence made me physically cringe

The rate is so low that you have to pay Spotify royalties

Sounds ok if it actually gets you exposure but i don’t see how it would lol

They are working to bury hip hop. This is designed for other genres to over take it.

Spotifys taking the youtube route by making it worse with each update

“Hip hop Twitter”, r/hip hop heads and Kanye West fans already killed hip hop

Cue up the ASAP Yams tweet
