Spotify is letting employees work from anywhere while paying SF and NY salaries

Assuming your number of 1 cent/stream, and considering that 7$ out of the 10$ subscription pays for the music, that gives an average of 23 streams/day for a subscriber.

That's about 80 minutes of music per day, down to 50 minutes or less if you're sharing the subscription.

And somehow terrestrial radio stations, which have no subscription base manage to make it work.

As I said in the comment above, artists are free to NOT put their music on Spotify if they don't think it's a good deal, but regardless streaming services are only commercials for artists. Spotify is far from the worst offender. :-)

But on radio, 1 play is listened to by many people. That's equivalent to many streams.
