> - Spotify gets a 30% cut

This is where you're wrong..

1. The article literally says ‘ “Spotify already pays nearly 70% of every dollar it generates from music to the record labels and publishers that own the rights for music, and represent and pay artists and songwriters," it continues.’

2. It’s a simplified example for explanatory purposes

Sure, that's the general narrative of spotify.. But it's false. It's more like half of that 70%.

There's a reason Spotify is ending their service in Uruguay, and it's not because they're enough.
