About this listen
Top musicians are taking their music off Spotify and leaving the platform behind – but why?
Kiwi musicians like Tiki Taane and The Bats have joined overseas acts like Deerhoof and King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard in boycotting the platform, accusing it of exploitation, poor royalties, and subsidising big international acts.
As it stands, each stream earns an artist around one-twentieth of a New Zealand cent.
Tech commentator Paul Spain told Mike Hosking artists are making a fair point, as Spotify has been increasing their prices, but not artist payouts.
