That's not an issue. That's the entire point. You track listens per account and if you're only listening to a single niche musician, all your money (not someone else's) goes to that musician.

The real mystery is why it should work any differently, because the cross subsidy seemingly creates a perverse profit incentive for bots to scalp off some of that cross subsidy. The economics are broken. This is socialism for the rich and popular.
