Spotify pays 70% of its profits to artists. Not revenue. Almost all your subscription money and ad revenue goes to spotify. They just at some point decide that's enough to take to spend on spotify, then give a tiny tiny amount to artists.

That's patently false, it's 70% of revenue that goes to rights holders.

Seriously, why lie like this?
