So you want Spotify to increase prices so that you get more money from your 10 listeners?
Because that's basically what you are asking for. There are millions of artists, and the number increases daily. Unless you charge more per user the pie is just getting split between more people. What you say is exactly the same as people were saying with every other medium. I have £10 to spend on entertainment this month, perhaps I'll buy your album, perhaps not, and now you see £0 from me instead of a bit.
