About this listen

 Streaming services, like Spotify, face a critical issue: an overwhelming number of songs are uploaded daily, yet the vast majority receive minimal plays. This oversaturation negatively impacts artists' visibility and the overall value of the platform's content. The industry debates potential solutions, including excluding low-play tracks from royalty distributions, but this is controversial. The challenge lies in balancing creative abundance with economic sustainability for both artists and platforms. Ultimately, the core problem is the mismatch between the massive supply of music and limited listener attention.
