Spotify with 160 million users in 2017 paid out at least 2.225 billion in royalties to rights holders (It’s probably a little higher). That’s around $13.90 user. YouTube provides the same service (except with video) and CEO Susan Wojcicki says YouTube has 1 Billion MUSIC users a month.
The article is completely wrong. The blog post referenced (1) says only that "more than one billion fans come to YouTube to be part of music culture and discover new songs and artists". This doesn't translate into YouTube Music having 1B MAUs, nor it translates in any way to Spotify users.
The article is just a piece of low quality rubbish:
This is Google: Second largest corporation on earth, manipulating children to protect one of the biggest corporate rip-offs in history. Disgusting
