Slave wages for musicians and artists on Spotify and many other major platforms, except bandcamp and Amazon

Long but fascinating read, well worth it for any fans of the Beastie Boys or Luscious Jackson or the post-punk New York music scene of the 1980s. Great photos from the period, great anecdotes.
