So basically, it’s like this…

Spotify gets their subscription money and ad fees, keeps 30%, then the remaining 70% gets split between all labels, songwriters, publishers, etc., and smaller artists (no label, self-release) get a percentage of your plays in your “market.”

So you end up getting fractions of a penny ($0.004) per play.

Which would suggest over 1000 plays for that money to be shared across. Presumably people paying are heavy users so that could be pretty easy to get over a month. Especially with shared accounts.

So you are getting your "fair" share of that 70%. It's just being shared across so many different things.
