    Can someone explain why this is bad? It seems like normal behaviour of corporations.

    Or has spotify previously committed to being a fair market?

      This is like a soup joint that’s trying to see how much they can piss in the broth before customers notice.

      I’m just surprised that anyone didn’t assume this was happening. If most people are using playlists generated by Spotify, how are they not expecting Spotify to choose songs that are also in their interest? Furthermore, how would this be different from the practices of a radio station? Seems like manufactured outrage to me.
