Do the people who wrote those lyrics get a cut of Spotify gatekeeping them?

I’ve never used the free tier on Spotify and I don’t understand how anyone can. The ads alone would make me throw off my headset in disgust. So yeah, not going to affect me, and I do enjoy reading the lyrics a lot.
That said, I am experimenting with swapping over to Apple Music because I feel Spotify has become too expensive.
The ads aren't even for anything. It was just really patronising ads for Spotify Premium.
Their business model is genuinely to just annoy you into paying.
To be fair, Spotify is unsuable without premium.
Spotify is unusable without ~~premium~~ Xmanager
