Over the last few week’s, three indie labels have left **Spotify** and a number of Hypebot readers have expressed [their misgivings](https://www.hypebot.com/spotify-responds-to-artist-payments-controversy/) over the streaming music service’s payments to labels and artists. Of particular [concern](https://www.hypebot.com/spotify-responds-to-artist-payments-controversy/) is **how much money will trickle down to the d.i.y. and indie community.**  Spotify [responded](https://www.hypebot.com/spotify-offers-additonal-response-to-independent-label-defections/), but many readers are still unsatisfied. So, to see what the silent majority of Hypebot readers really think of Spotify – not as a service, but how it helps or hurts artists, we created a simple poll “[Is Spotify A Good Deal For Artists?](https://www.hypebot.com/vote-is-spotify-a-good-deal-for-artists/)“.
