Before you become the 100th person questioning the accuracy of this tweet, just remember I'm a gay pop music fan in his thirties. Female pop stars are kinda our thing and we thrive on facts.

@imshanereaction Hi @imshanereaction how do the artists actually make their money from Spotify? I have a Spotify subscription.

@lisagilliland @imshanereaction Every artist gets paid a % of the total money from subscribers that Spotify makes according to how many streams they got that month. So if Kate Bush gets 1% of total global Spotify streams in June she will get 1% of the subscription revenue, after Spotify takes their cut.

@lisagilliland @imshanereaction Not much, in fact Youtube actually pays artists more through streaming than Spotify. Lots of indie artists have complained about it for years, some getting 100k+ streams on their song and only getting $10 for it.

@lisagilliland @imshanereaction spotify pays artists per stream (not much though)
