Even if you get < $10 it can still be worthwhile for money laundering purposes.

  Indeed. From what I've read, excellent quality fake USD go for a 50% — or more — discount from face value.

    Just so I'm clear then. If I want to launder 100$ using this scheme. I setup a Spotify Account, to stream my 'Music'. Then I hire some bot farm to listen to my 'Music'. Then Spotify pays me the ad-revenue since so many people are listening to my music? So if I can hire the bot farm (and whatever other overhead expenses are needed), I just need to get $50 from ad-revenue to justify spending $100 on bots? It seems like the bots would cost more? If bots are this cheap, I'd think more people would use them just to pump their numbers.

      I don't think it's ads, it's subscription revenue.
