> Spotify did not respond to Business Insider's request for comment. They should probably ask Shopify to comment instead =P

  I've noticed that BI's articles are full of typos. Not sure if they just rush things out or what, but some of them are so obvious if anyone did a round of proof reading they would've spotted it.

    Proof reading doesn’t drive clicks.

      Also, most of people just read the headlines.

    Most journalism is a commodity business now with writers publishing dozens of stories per day. There's no big pipeline of drafting, copyediting, fact checking and editorial review anymore.

    Does anyone actually go to BI, Forbes, TechCrunch, whatever, directly anymore? The most they get is a headline in someone’s social media feed that generates a click and maybe 10 seconds of eyeball on ad. Proof reading isn’t worth it.

      Businessweek is still doing good work.

        As is Nikkei, Financial Times, and The Economist.

  I guess it's just a typo, but imagining someone at Spotify in Sweden reading a mail by an NY-based journalist asking about a Canadian startup is hilarious. I wonder if this happens in reality.

    You wouldn’t believe how often this happens
