> Spotify paid the artists $0,0032 per stream

It's also worth noting, we're not talking about the total amount payed per stream, we're talking about the amount that makes it specifically to the artists. From the article being discussed
> To pay the median American monthly rent ($1,078) an artist needs to generate 283,684 recurring streams monthly.
Those number directly align with 0.38c per stream going to the artists (283,684 * 0.0038 = 1078). And since everywhere else seems to indicate that somewhere around 3-5/100th of that amount actually goes to artists, I'm curious what the disconnect it.

- RHSeeger 6y agoI apologize, you are right. I misread it as talking about cents based on the second reference and then my brain just decided to take it's own path. Thank you for taking the time to make me go back and look at my numbers. My apologies for wasting _your_ time.
