I'm not clear on what the difference would be, from his explanation. Is he splitting by "artists listened to ignoring count of times streamed"? (So someone who listens to only vulfpeck 1000 times and Daft Punk once pays each $5)
Or is it "for each user, divide their $10 by the number of streams they played and pay that to the copyright holder of the streams played?" So the more streams you listen to the less artists get paid for that?

I think his solution works like this:
Lets say you listen to Beck for 50 times, Beyonce 50 times, and Drake 100 times. That gives you 200 total streams, which a respective stream distribution of 25%, 25% and 50%. We can assume you enjoyed Drake more since you listened to him more so he should get more money obviously. So Beck and Beyonce each get $7 * (0.25) = $1.75 and Drake gets $3.50 for the month.
