   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).
