It's payola for the digital age. This proposed pay cut is rumored to be as much as 50%, and with Spotify's immense power as the largest music streaming platform, it is able to force artists into this so-called “deal.” Discovery Mode creates a race to the bottom. In time, artists will have little choice but to participate and accept a pay cut to have a chance, but no guarantee, of getting their music heard because the system is rigged - and Spotify is the only one winning. https://actionnetwork.org/petitions/stop-spotifys-discovery-mode-payola
