Too bad... That's one of the things I liked about Spotify It gave opportunity for small artists to share their talent
There are still several services that "automagically" publish your music to several platforms at once. Some are pretty affordable, like DITTOMUSIC https://www.dittomusic.com/pricing

#14Yes, Spotify's direct uploading "gave opportunity for small artists to share their talent" -- but that same mechanism also made it too easy to upload copyright infringing content.
Since Spotify does not have a machine learning AI copyright filter like Youtube's ContentID[1], shutting down the direct upload was their best course of action. Restricting uploads to their distribution partners (record labels) is the human version of the "contentid" algorithm.

Good job, EU! Squelch your citizenry in the interest of the copyright industry. Content filtering is draconian and fundamentally opposed to a free and open society.

Seems more true than ever that big regulations create big business moats that big businesses can easily absorb, but which demolish smaller businesses.
