There are two mutually exclusive concepts of the electrodynamics spin. According to the widespread concept, the spin density is proportional to the gradient of the electromagnetic energy density. Therefore, an unlimited plane wave of circular polarization does not contain spin, and a real wave, limited in space, carries all spin at its boundary, separately from energy. In contrast with the gradient theory, according to the original theory, the spin density is proportional to the energy density, and the spin of plane waves is not related to the existence of the boundaries. Within the framework of this theory, we explain the Beth experiment, we calculate: the spin fluxes of plane waves in various situations, a previously unnoticed spin flux in the dipole radiation. The reason for the transition from the initial theory to the gradient theory is discussed.
