It's an unexplained and unfair bias for a certain type of song that coincidentally favors the top 0.1% of artists.

Imagine a teenager girl playing an international pop star 2m31s song on loop for the entire evening after school, then think about her father listening to ~4m20s songs of a local rock band on his way to work

If both of them pay for an individual subscription and those were the only things they listened to that month, the Spotify pay cut would pay the pop star 100x more for the same service.
