I did this. I toured for 3 years promoting an album my band self released through our school and Spotify paid me less than $10 a quarter for my efforts. That’s the “keep it all” you’re referring to.
The name of the game is “exploit the artist” and Spotify is playing dirty. Don’t fall for the lie that it’s their money and they deserve it.

I’m always sad and embarrassed when I see someone who was “raise on welfare” and learned nothing from it.
Those of us able to think critically about our time being poor understand that no one aspires to do nothing with themselves. The despair of poverty doesn’t come from an unwillingness to do/be better; It comes from the belief that we’re **unable** to do so.
What you mistake for laziness is actually hopelessness. Having disdain for that is just a lack of empathy.
