Spotify says:

A shift to user-centric payments would not benefit artists as much as many may have originally hoped… the change would result in ‘at most a few euros per year on average’ for artists outside the top 10,000.

Curiously, artists outside the top 10,000 are explicitly left out consideration here.

Should one of those “outside”s read “inside”? If not, I don’t know how to parse this.
