How much would a musician pay to advertise their song to 4 million interested listeners? Negative 0.000017 cents sounds like a pretty good price -- better than Adwords anyway.
Care to provide some evidence that it is being done, ie. that artists are happy with the payment arrangement negotiated on their behalf with Spotify et al on the basis that it constitutes cheap advertising?

And what exactly is the point of "advertising" a song to people who, for all intents and purposes, already own it?
To get fans who will buy records, concert tickets and merchandise.
There must be some point, or otherwise it wouldn't be done. Follow the money.

I think he's referring to radio.
