What I don’t understand. Why are the platforms not just splitting each payers monthly subscription with all the songs they have played that month. If I only play one song - it’s 12.99 for Rick Astley. Or if someone plays music 24/7 their streams are worth much less. That seems like a much fairer system that is impossible to abuse. For ad supported users you can still defraud the advertisers of course
