Spotify doesn't make profit from music streaming, despite having over 400M monthly active users, because it pays two-thirds of all its revenue to the rights holders. (open.substack.com)

Do you know how the merch shops works? Spotify seems to be a reseller of some kind. How many % of the money is going to the artist usually?

Not talking about Spotify merch, didn't even know that was a thing. I was talking about buying merch from the artist themselves.
