            One of the biggest lies of the industry.
            The fact is, companies don’t pay royalty per stream. If Apple Music users suddenly decide to listen to their favorite song twice as much as they used to, Apple isn’t going to pay artists twice as much as they pay them now. No company can survive like that.
            Instead both Apple and Spotify pay 70% of their generated income to the rights holder. 70 cents per every dollar they make. Number of streams is only one out of multiple factors on how that 70% is distributed.
            So the only reason it appears that Spotify is paying less is because people listen to music on Spotify about twice as much as Apple Music.

            Image compares artist payouts for streaming services. The left shows the Spotify logo with a payout of $3 per 1,000 streams, while the right features the Apple Music logo with a payout of $6.20 per 1,000 streams.

                                                          I wrote my first book, Getting Started with the MacBook Neo.

                                                          Apple made a Mac under 600 dollars, the Neo, and the book walks you through setting one up, every step, start to finish, in plain language.

                                                          Chapter one is free. The price only goes up as I add chapters, so right now is the cheapest it'll ever be. Know someone who'd like it? Please share it.
