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
Wohh there, that's a lot of claims with 0 proof.
Can yo source any of that?

They charge 30%
Which is what Apple charges (and Spotify complain), and what Steam charges, and what GoG charges, and what Epic charges, and what Google Play charge, and what the company I work for charges
For a digital media marketplace, 30% has been settled on for the industry standard whether it's reasonable or not.
Okay? And physical stores don't? This isn't news and doesn't address your claim whatsoever? It doesn't compare spotify vs indi labels.
Discoverability, publishing, advertising, gigs etc.
