It’s a pretty well-known fact these days that artists don’t get paid much for having their music on Spotify, so it’s no surprise to hear musicians pulling their music from streaming digital catalogs.

However, the recent news of Taylor Swift hit the streaming music community hard with a big impact. On Monday morning, Swift pulled her entire catalog off Spotify, according to a Spotify spokesperson. After refusing to put up her new album “1989” since its release last week, I guess “Team Swift” decided it would just be better to remove the entire catalog.

In my opinion, Spotify is a better place without it.

That’s why we pay nearly 70% of our revenue back to the music community.

Spotify users are already finding ways to cope with the news:
