There are several factors that may result in a stream count from an earnings report showing zero earnings. Some streaming services may not pay earnings for listeners on free trials or promotions. Others, like Spotify, distribute revenue based on the country, meaning streams from listeners in smaller countries with fewer subscribers or ads may yield less than a penny. Payment amounts are determined by each service and can vary widely.
