The product, besides co-opting the artists' music, is playing a centralized kingmaker, from whom artists or their labels can purchase influence. Now it's starting to go beyond music though. I've begun to notice politics creeping in to their "overview" page as well and do not like this one bit. Music (like sports, before ESPN) was/is a form of escapism and putting a 'support DACA' themed playlist on the front page damages the brand, unless they dynamically start to offer playlists targeted to your personal political beliefs, a terrible idea and one that is incompatible with Spotify's publically progressive culture.
