The creator argues that independent musicians should stop relying on Spotify for income because the payouts are negligible compared to the effort required to drive traffic. He suggests using his platform, Share, to sell music directly to consumers to maximize earnings.

Artists are driving all the traffic but making none of the money. Stop sending fans to platforms that don’t pay you. Sell direct at share.stream. Keep the value you create. #musicbusiness #dtc #independentartist
