So, the pro rata payment model that for example Spotify uses, I presume? Monthly subscription revenue goes into one big pool and is then divided among all artists on the platform, proportionally based on the number of streams that month, so regardless of one's listening habits, the biggest chunk the subscription fee will always line the pockets of the pockets of the most listened artists. Yeah, sucks all kinds of balls.
