I mean paying for Spotify nets the original artists about as much cash as pirating the music. I just share my music both on Spotify and for free online, it honestly makes close to zero financial difference.
IIRC lately things have changed considerably. I mean, I do know that in Spotify early days Lady Gaga made about 16$ with her hits. But it's my understanding that nowadays artists are paid proportional with the # songs played. If it's a fair trade, that's not for me to judge.
For what is worth, 2019 was the first time Spotify registered a profit. After ... what? 13 years-ish?
I imagine the music business it's a bit more complex and harder to monetize, but to each his own.
