A quick google says that spotify pays at least $0.003 per stream to an artist. So your $10 pays for 3333 streams per month, or just over 100 a day. I probably don't average 100 streams per day, but I definitely average over 10. I'm not sure its as bad a deal for the artist as you may think. It's not two orders of magnitude bad, at least.
- Judgmentality 6y agoThe problem with this math is you're assuming a roughly even distribution for paying out to artists, when in fact the Spotify pay model wildly favors the popular artists in terms of paying out money. Basically if you aren't already famous, Spotify isn't going to pay you any meaningful money. https://qz.com/1660465/the-way-spotify-and-apple-music-pays-artists-isnt-fair/ https://qz.com/1660465/the-way-spotify-and-apple-music-pays-... I should probably mention I haven't really looked into Spotify's business model in about a year, so if something has changed and my information is outdated someone please let me know.
