I've been to concerts of artists I simply would not have discovered if it weren't for Spotify, their curated playlists, and their algorithm. I can absolutely guarantee this for my personal circumstance These artists have been from all over the globe, my favourite being The Chats from Australia which I went to see in Manchester. Exposure in music is much more genuine than in design/development like you say since the concerts have always been a significant portion of the income for artists (AFAIK).
