I felt the author didn't like what happened to his friend and grasped at everything possible to rile people against spotify. Spotify is a music distribution platform that works in a free market. If you dont want to listen to a track from them, look it up on many of the other platforms. Given musics ugly history with piracy, I doubt we will ever find ourselves in a world where spotify has a monopoly and we would see the effects the author is describing. If you have legitimate fans, you and your fans will find a way to connect, with or without spotify.
