Are all music creators better off now than before Spotify?

The music pie is bigger now but it is split between more people. Spotify brings in the most revenue for musicians as a whole.
Yeah, but like another post said it killed a lot of other income streams.
And Spotify is a bad example as it ran into another psudo monopoly with very unreasonable/unhealthy power (the few large music labels holding rights to the majority of main stream music).
They pretty much forced very bad terms onto Spotify which is to some degree why Spotify is pushing podcasts, as they can't be long term profitable with Music (raising prices doesn't help if the issue is a percent cut which rises too :/ )
Is that why the biggest source of income for musicians these days are live shows? Streaming basically killed recording income for 99.9999% of musicians.
