    On average artists on Spotify receive around $0.003 per one stream… In order to make $1, you need about 334 streams.

    I knew it was bad, but I didn’t realize it was that bad. Anyone know what the best way to buy music is that benefits the artist the most? I know concerts are the most profitable, but I can’t easily go to concerts these days because I have young kids.

    Also, is this net of label fees, or is the artists share even smaller? I assume labels tend to take about half as mentioned earlier in the article.

      I think the best for the artist is buying physical copies from their own homepage. Probably followed by Bandcamp
