I wish streaming was compared to radio more. I think so many artists compare streams to sales directly, but I think a radio comparison is far more apt (even if not quite right).
Exactly - for a lot of people it's used as wallpaper in the same way. They turn on Spotify and do eight hours of work, twenty days a month. 9600 minutes of music for which they pay $10. A tenth of a cent per minute. We can argue about how much of that tenth of a cent should go to performer/songwriter/label/Spotify/GCP, but I think increasing it is doomed.
