As a musician with a small catalog on the streaming sites, everyone other than Spotify seems to pay at least something. I am still on Apple Music despite my issues with the UI because they actually pay a good amount for streams. I got more from a handful of streams in TikTok than from thousands of streams on Spotify. The truth is that unless your big, your basically putting music on Spotify for free.
