Imagine we are the only two subscribers:

* You spend an hour a day listening to A during your commute

* I spend 9 hours a day, my whole workday, listening to B.

In the current system, B gets 90% and A gets 10%, but some people would prefer to see a system in which they each get 50%.

Additionally, I believe they use total streaming time and not total streaming time for paid subscribers. So an artist who is popular among paid subscribers doesn't earn any more than an artist who is popular only among free subscribers.
