Missing the point: when the playlist features in-house brands pushed to prominence they don’t actually have to fuel higher profits for Spotify in lieu of paying royalties to independent artists or labels that needs to be labeled. “Amazon knock off of Amazon independent merchants product”
Which is precisely shady behavior.
“Hey you asked for jazz, here’s the top ten” with no mention that it’s stocked full of generic house brands commissioned specifically to bang out cheap non innovative copies.
Had you searched for “generic jazz Muzak” you might expect such dreck and even welcome it. But as it stands you have the worlds largest streaming service undercutting it’s own clients.
