Spotify came under criticism this week regarding their payouts and support for new artists. Thom Yorke and Nigel Godrich (of the band Atoms for Peace) recently removed several albums from the popular streaming service, and publicly lashed out at Spotify this week for their lack of payment to new artists. Spotify was quick to respond, saying "We're 100% committed to making Spotify the most artist-friendly music service possible and are constantly talking to artists and managers about how Spotify can help build their careers." Read more on both sides of the Spotify argument here, and an excellent article on how streaming services should be helping artists make a living here.
