Somebody I know is in the top 10% of Spotify.
Guess how much the artist makes by being in the top 10% of Spotify.
Around $50 a month.

Streaming music sucks

I fully agree with your general criticism, but I'd like to point out that the number 10% means nothing. There could be a gigantic amount of artists on spotify, most of whom never get any clicks. In that case the 50$ for 10th percentile might be adequate. I'm not saying it is, just that the 10% number doesn't show this.
@maltimore The top 10% on Spotify are made up of roughly 43000 artists according to a letter to shareholders from July 29th 2020
