The justification for this is demonetizing white-noise tracks or other work without creative effort that supposedly costs spotify too much. I'm not a fan of the direction this is going because one of the best things about the platform was it's selection of underground music. This just buries it deeper and doesn't help artists that are trying to break through. It just shovels the profits to the top earners who are already doing quite well. There aren't many alternatives and bancamp has been passed down from epic games to songtradr and isn't anywhere near a real alternative yet.
