Independent musicians protest Spotify’s low pay, shifting to direct sales and live shows.
A growing number of musicians, including Massive Attack and indie acts like Formidable Vegetable and King Gizzard, are pushing back against Spotify over unfair pay, with some removing their music or releasing exclusively on artist-friendly platforms like Bandcamp.
While major-label artists remain tied to streaming due to contracts, independents are turning to direct sales, merchandise, and live shows as sustainable alternatives.
Advocates stress that consumer support through purchases and concerts is more impactful than canceling subscriptions, urging a shift in how fans engage with music.
