−Per-stream payouts are approximately three to four times higher than Spotify's rate
+Per-stream payouts are approximately two to three times higher than Spotify's rate

Why this is better

Body text already correctly said 'approximately two to three times higher than Spotify's rate,' but the FAQ independently repeated the original unverified 'three to four times' figure in two separate answers ('What music streaming service pays artists the most?' and 'How does Tidal compare to Spotify?'). Both fixed to match the body's corrected two-to-three-times figure, faq re-encoded via the 4-step op-sequence (base64,json,base64,json) and round-trip verified before and after PUT.
