Different though - the butcher will largely determine how much your steak costs, the artist has little say as far as I know when it comes to what streaming services will pay.
That is something the artist will have to negotiate with the record label. They are the ones who make the money in this business with multi-million dollar contracts.
And, by the way, it is the large food retailers who dictate prices to livestock farmers so that you and I can eat a steak at a reasonable price.

It is not the retailers who determine the price of your steak, but you alone. The unspeakable greed of consumers who insist on eating meat every day creates high demand and has established factory farming, which enables low prices. The price of meat from animals kept in better conditions is significantly higher.
I grew up in a time when meat was served once a week on Sundays. Our high consumption, without even thinking about the poor animals, determines the low prices.
Incidentally, Daniel Ek's fortune is estimated at just under 10 billion euros, guaranteed to be “earned” through tough contracts that leave record labels with no choice but to rip off artists (although they are all probably in cahoots).
My approach is this: meat with proof of origin and good animal welfare, not too often, and a boycott of Spotify (albeit initially by chance but now out of conviction).
