How do artists make so much money when today there are so many streaming services and we pay a very small amount to have access to a huge amount of songs?

Musicians don’t really make any money from album sales, we’re almost entirely dependant on gigs and merch sales.
Unless you’re independent, 90% of album sales will go to the platform your buying from and the company that owns the copyright. In most cases, the producer will receive more money to record the album than the musicians who wrote it.
Buying a T-shirt at a gig is the best way to support musicians. If you don’t like the merch but enjoy the music, give ’em $5 as a thank you – you’ll make their entire tour
