This assumes a different economic model of SPAM that I have been lead to believe exists.

My understanding is that the people sending the SPAM get paid immediately and that the people paying them to send it are the ones hoping that the advertising/phishing/etc. are acted on.

Fine, then the people paying the people who do the spamming have more of an incentive to pay higher rates and more spammers. It doesn't really matter how may layers of abstraction there are, the point is that the main motivator has become more attractive.
