It used to be that if you were unlucky and got shyster manager or label, you'd get ripped off and end up with nothing. with these new platforms like spotify, now all artists are getting ripped off together

It's definitely geared towards popular music, rather than watch you actually like to listen to. It pays it "safe" with suggestions, which keeps the top earners at the top. I would imagine there's still an element of pay to play.
