People are railing at Spotify, when in reality this is responding to the desire and behavior of customers. All of the platforms are moving to a $10/month all-you-can-eat model, because customers love it and will pay. What this does is move the industry from an album model, where people buy bundles of songs and own them forever whether they listen or not, to a radio model, where people snack on music in curated playlists. In the album model, artists are incentivized to put out one or two hit tracks and then backfill with lesser material, or spend time curating an hour-long story. In the radio model, artists are incentivized to iterate on and tweak their hits with mash-ups, remixes, collabs, etc. That's why Lil Nas X put out FIVE versions of Old Town Road.
