Do you remember those trial or startup offers from Columbia House (etc.) during the LP/cassette/CD days? Artists weren't paid for those sales either, not that "10 albums for 10 cents" etc. is a payday.
Not suggesting it was ever right, but it was something agreed to by somebody, directly or indirectly, and I'm just saying it's not new. Plenty of (their own) artists didn't opt in, or more likely, specifically opted out.
Luckily most artists are much better informed these days, somebody's always trying to screw them. It is just as bad at all levels of the entertainment business when you're new/unestablished/not especially popular.
