It's not "exactly" how it works. Spotify don't pay you anything at all if your track gets <1000 plays. This means low-count content is subsidising higher count content. I have seen articles detailing the different payout per stream of the different services, several times in recent years. From this I had assumed the payouts were fixed rate. I accept I could have misunderstood.
