The Spotify model sucks despite throwing money at it for years, so my guess is they surely can give you some reasons why 85% of your monthly subscription can't be given to the artists you listen to.
Publicly traded companies are always going to turn to shit, the "Spotify model" is just appeasing shareholders with infinite growth.
