The post is about what Yankovic said, but you left out that.
If anyone is curious, online estimators put 80 million streams on Spotify at an average payout of ~$190,000. That's to the record label though, not the artist themselves.
I've been independently releasing my own music on Spotify and other streaming services for almost 4 years and have made $26. And this year has more streams than any previous!
