I always wondered this as well. If a company was sponsoring data on a product that they don't make any money from, that looks like it could be considered anti-competitive. If a company sponsored data on search so they could fill the results with ads for their products maybe? Or if a streaming service sponsored data so they could get people to buy from their music store or something? If the data is sponsored using funds from the profits of the sponsoring service, I can't imagine how that could be construed as anti-competitive. Presumably the competition could do the same thing unless there's some sort of exclusivity deal. There is a competitive advantage to being a bigger company with more money to throw around, but does that make it anti-competitive?
