Don't be evil the say, but then Spotify does this: "Spotify has been systematically replacing real artists’ songs with low-cost stock music—often under fake artist profiles—on its popular mood playlists like “chill,” “jazz,” and “peaceful piano,” in order to reduce the royalty rate they pay out to musicians. And when Spotify’s playlist editors, many of whom were genuine music lovers, began to take issue with this practice, the company replaced them with staff who had fewer ethical qualms with the PFC model."

WTF!!!

When cultural infrastructure is optimized solely for profit, quality is sacrificed in the name of financial efficiency.
