If this sentence is true:
> when I pay 10 dollar's per month and all I listen to is Carsick Cars (my favorite Chinese indie band), still the majority of 10 dollars will go to Justin Bieber and Adele
... then it's also true that millions of subscribers are paying a tiny fraction of their subscription fee to Carsick Cars, even though they never listen to their music.
Mathematically, it's equivalent (I think) to you paying your entire subscription fee to Carsick Cars, and nobody else paying them anything. But the wording of one sounds fairer for some reason.
(It gets more complicated once you consider that some users are putting less money because they're on the ad-supported subscription.)
