Did you just say spot long?

Never heard of anything like spot long. If you are talking about spot trading, then there's nothing like funding rate in there.
If you are talking about a long of x1 leverage, the funding keeps changing every few hours depending on an exchange. Sometimes it's positive and other times it's negative so believe me, at certain times you will be paying.
