@nostupidquestions When purchasing Music (£0.99 each) how many plays would you say made the purchase 'worth it'?
Depends on what you’re buying IMO. If you’re “buying” it in the sense of buying license to listen to it like with DRM like iTunes, nothing could make that worth it IMO. But if I’m buying physical media of the music itself (eg. Vinyl) then I’m usually willing to pay whatever the market price is for that album.

0, I buy music to support the artist. The value is giving back to a musician so they can create more.

That’s a big motivation for me, too, but I’d say it’s about equally that I want archival of the best stuff for when rights holders pull their catalogs from the services I stream. I used to think that was mainly for the more obscure stuff, like local bands’ early albums that I can barely find anymore, but recently I’ve noticed albums missing from main services (Tidal and Spotify, in my case) for bigger acts, too.
