I'm a writer for the publication. Why?

Oh sorry to hear that, but Yh users need to first experience mistakes/errors before Google can fix. That’s just how it works now.

That way people can get content relevant to them. Genius.

Wooh. Interesting, had no idea (about the iOS thing), thanks for sharing.

But is it really?

Spotify is definitely not the villain here, they have created the best music streaming platform in the world. The big publishers also can't be called the villains per say, but it wasn't so nice of them to force a small startup (Spotify in it's early days) to sign contracts that will permanently force it to payout about $0.66 out of every $1 it makes.

Like the article explains, they can't price their services too expensively, because of competition. If Spotify becomes $25/month, most users will move to Apple Music or YouTube Music, etc.
