How is white noise costing this much money? Surely the bandwidth isn't that expensive

And why does Spotify care if they're paying out white noise creators from the same fun they pay music creators? It's still time in service right?

Yes but no? A subscriber pays a set amount per month. No matter how much that subscriber listens to music, it's paid from their monthly subscription fee, right?

So if a subscriber listens to one hour of music versus 10 hours of music, does Spotify pay less royalties for the 1 hour?

Even if they do pay royalties based on listen time, if somebody's listening to white noise for 24 hours a day, there should be an upper limit to the royalties paid to the monthly subscription right?

I just don't understand how somebody listens to 10 hours of K-pop every day versus 10 hours of white noise how Spotify is saving money in the second but not the first example
