I just read this expecting some new sensations in the subject but none found.
It's obvious critic of Spotify's business model and good pointer that it feeds
on engagement for its own interest, nor it cares about artists, especially
indie. It's a mainstream media these days and behaves like one so I don't
share that negative enthusiasm of the author, nor I find all evidence he found
being fundamentally judgmental. It's the matter of preference and in this I
agree with the author. Spotify is not the way I like to listen to the music
and discover it and being culturally enriched by it (regardless who gets
monetarily rich on top of that experience, that's where my moral support is
more vague to the cause).
