It’s my understanding that I had over 80 million streams on Spotify this year,” Yankovic said in his video. “So, if I’m doing the math right that means I earned $12. Enough to get myself a nice sandwich at a restaurant.”

I contributed about 45 of those listens last year. I feel like I should have at least been offered a bite of the sandwich.
