Comment on "Sponsored recommendations": I pay for Spotify Premium, and yet somehow I'm still the product?

  I generally buy merch from the small bands I like, and the rest are multimillionaires already.

  While I listen to a wide variety of music, it tends to be popular music from a wide range of times where they’ve already made a lot from it.

  But also, yes, there’s a level of convenience I’m not willing to give up. When an artist pulls their music from Spotify, I tend to just not listen to them, through no fault of their own, but it’s where I listen to everything else.

  I’m trying YouTube music out since it’s theoretically a bit better and I already pay for YouTube premium.
