Confirmed: From 2024, tracks on Spotify will have to be played 1,000 times before they start earning money

Spotify has told industry players that it expects the new 1,000-play minimum annual threshold will reallocate tens of millions of dollars per year from 0.5% of its current royalty pool to the other 99.5%.

These are the reasons I made the switch to Qobuz this year - wasn't frictionless but I really like the service and quality.

Amazing sound quality, reasonable price, afaik transparent and fair pay for the artists, no AI music, found nearly everything I searched for. I miss the lyrics feature and the UI is a bit fiddly, but those are minor complaints
