What I would like the most as user, is that my money gets only distributed to artists I'm listening to. If Spotify costs let's say $10 per month, and I listen 50% artist A and 50% artist B, then both artists should get $5 from my money, minus Spotify fees. Taylor Swift should not get anything from my money. This model is more fair, would greatly help niche artist, and bonus - this kind of fraud would not be possible. This fraud is direct effect of pooling all money together and counting only total number of streams.
