I got Spotify’s monthy newsletter and there’s some good news. They’re finally making efforts to counteract bots on their platform. They say they have 600 million “users” on their platform, which is up from 180 million 3 years ago. This “growth” I suspect is largely bots. It’s about time. They need to get rid of bot created streams, if for no other reason than their bottom line. And to stop penalizing artists and labels for suspected botted strsams instead of cleaning up their own house.
