[–] NightOwl@lemmy.one 15 points 2 years ago (1 child) When pay is basically non existent is there a reason to be on spotify? Or is it for "exposure" in hopes of finding new fans. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Neato@kbin.social 8 points 2 years ago The same reason merchandise sellers are on Amazon even though Amazon forces them to lower prices and make less: if you're NOT on Amazon, people just won't find you. If you're not on Spotify, you don't exist in the music world to some people. Because otherwise where else will they search for you? Youtube Music or Apple Music, both pay sites. Otherwise you're having word of mouth or searching manually. permalink fedilink source parent
