I know the sentiment that you are conveying, and I understand each of the words in your comment individually, but I honestly have no idea what you're saying here.
I think Wrapped is like youtube rewind for spotify.They are talking about how the layoffs happened just after they finished working on that?
Though I think it is less the streaming model being a scam and more the way Spotify is taking all the profit and avoiding to properly pay out smaller creators.
Spotify take a standard cut?
It's record labels that are scamming small artists, and frankly spotify offer a better chance for them to go independent than having to rely on connections to get radio play so someone will buy their music
You can't just put your music on Spotify unfortunately. Google Play Music had the option to pay a small one-time fee to get your music up there, but they did away with that when they moved to YouTube Music.
If you're unsigned you need to go through a service like TuneCore to get your music on any of the streaming services.
