    Billboard:

    A new threshold of minimum annual streams that a track must meet before it starts to generate royalties. The threshold, according to MBW, will de-monetize tracks that had previously received 0.5% of Spotify’s royalty pool.

    Financial penalties for music distributors and labels when fraudulent activity on tracks they have uploaded to Spotify has been detected.

    A minimum play-time length that non-music noise tracks, such as bird sounds or white noise, must reach to generate royalties.

    I can't believe it's legal to demonetize music you're profiting off of.

    Sadly if YouTube can do it (putting ads on demonetized videos (or even on videos for people not in the partner program)) then unfortunately Spotify can get away with this as well.
