$0.0013 doesn't sound a lot. But it's equivalent to about $1.50 if somebody listens to an album 100 times.

That's less than if they were to sell the album in a shop. However they don't have the same distribution costs and Spotify users are almost always going to listen to far more music than they would if they bought CDs.

So while $0.0013 per stream sounds stupid, it's closer to a sensible level than one would intuitively think.
