Artists earn money from Spotify primarily through royalties, which are paid based on the number of streams their songs get. More streams, more money!
Royalties, baby! For every stream, an artist gets a tiny cut. It can add up if you get a lot of streams.
I have a friend who's an indie artist. He said Spotify pays him per stream and through licensing deals. Not a lot, but it helps!
They DON'T. Just kidding, they earn royalties based on their stream count. It's like pennies per play, but it accumulates!
