Not surprising, but also unsure what congress is supposed to do here. Spotify is treating music as a business, not as an art form. And they are reaping the monetary benefits that come with running a business.
This shit is on Tidal too, I've seen it many times on generated playlists. Exact same thing. It's complete bullshit and also not the least bit surprising. Just another notch in the ongoing e-shitification of everything.
