The streaming services pay a fraction of a penny per stream. If you get millions of streams, you earn thousands of dollars. If you get thousands of streams, you get a couple bucks.

The top few acts that get *billions* of streams make lots of money. Everyone else makes less, down to “almost nothing” for the majority of artists. Money comes from touring and merchandise sales.
