Didn't they also slash how much they pay artists? What exactly is the point of Spotify?

Not really, they set a "minimum threshold" of unique annual listeners to get a payout. If a song has at least 1000 unique listeners per year it gets the same payout it did before. If it gets 999 it gets zero.

It's 1000 playbacks, not 1000 unique listeners.
