    …and sometimes the poor authors and artists… I’d hope that artists and creators retain the freedom to choose.

        Spotify brought back the music industry from the dead.

            Spotify did the legwork of putting the platform in place tho. Personally I tend to buy from Bandcamp, but you won’t find everything you’re looking for.

                I thought we were talking about exploiting smaller artists, not anti-competitive behavior.

                It’s not like there isn’t any competition out there to Spotify (Apple Music, YouTube Music, Deezer, Amazon Prime Music,Tidal are the top ones that come to mind), the artists are free not not publish their music there if they disagree.
