This is not true. Artists who don’t make much money on spotify are either under very poor terms with their label / publisher, or simply aren’t generating many streams.
For example, in my main genre trance, upper-B to lower-A artists can expect to make ~600 euros per release, minimum if it’s on a decent label, assuming it’s promoted properly and reaches the right playlists. It takes me 3-4 days to finish a track (to a high standard). That’s a pretty good return on investment imo.
Obv the caveat is that if you don’t do very well with promo, or are on a label that doesn’t understand how to leverage playlists, then yeah you’re not going to make much.
