Let - p := subscription price
- N := number of subscribers
- P:= total spotify money = p * N
In first approximation, let us consider that all subscribers listen to the same amount of music per month
- v := number of minutes of music per subscriber per month
- V := total number of music listened to = v * N
Then, by listening to a minute of an artist, the amount you add to that artist revenue is approximately
P / V = p / v
Which is a fraction of a non-infinitesimal number (in that first approximation)
You got confused by a fact that an infinitesimal number times an infinite number can very much be real
