Do you think artists get paid enough on Spotify?

I heard a while back, that Spotify doesn't pay artists a whole lot. I don't know if that's true or not. But how much do artists tend to make through Spotify? How much does Spotify get from artists?

I imagine big stars probably get paid in other ways, but the smaller, indie stars, are they making good money when their music is played a ton? I feel like the more plays you get, the more money you should be paid right? Does Spotify play based on total play count? How are they even paying artists, when anyone could listen to a catalog of music for free anytime essentially?
