I know it's proportional but you have to have fuckloads of plays before Spotify even look at paying you, then they pay your record label sweet FA, which kind of leaves a percentage of sweet FA for the artist.
That's how it works for me. So please, but my shit (preferably direct from the label) over streaming on Spotify, Apple Music, Deezer or whatever.
Having said that, I'm just happy if you go and listen to my shit at all
