The Spotify model is arguably more successful _because_ they pay artists so little. I don't buy music much anymore. Pandora and Spotify satisfy most of my desire for it.

I guess the meaning is that Spotify can offer low subscription price because it pays little to the authors. Seems quite logical to me.
