I worry because like every streaming service they've slowly been reducing the amount they pay artists. How can they halve customer fees and not pay artists less?

My guess is that they've realized that nobody subscribed to the highest tier, so they've incorporated its features into the normal tier, hoping to make it up in volume (I.e. new people subscribing because it's cheap and it offers more than Spotify). So perhaps they are going to be able to pay artists the same rates
