Spotify has laid off thousands in recent years, while reportedly paying artists $0.003 per stream.
Spotify profits rose 28% in Q3. Its CEO is worth $9.8 billion. It's making money off ICE recruitment ads.

These scam ads with the faces of well-known Irish people continue to appear on YouTube. When reported, they claim they can't find the ad. As if the largest advertising company in the world can't control its own platforms.
