    It’s net revenue split to rights holders according to the share of streams. If you have 1% of all streams on Spotify in a given time period, you get 0.7% of net revenue for that period.

    How the rights holders distribute the money onward to the artists is not exactly transparent though.

      I suspected that much, it must be a complicated matter with many different cases, considering how music is produced. Thank you for your insight.

        Any time.

        To be clear, I don’t think this should be taken as a defense of Spotify. I just think that these misconceptions distract from more valid criticisms.
