Re:Spotify opens on NYSE, valuing company at almost $30B by toomanybeersies on Tuesday April 03, 2018 @09:39PM (#16751152)
Most people listen to top 40 music and artists, and not much else.

Most people on Spotify don't make their own playlists at all, and just rely on the ones that Spotify supplies in the Browse tab, or listen to albums.

From a quick scan of the friend activity pane, if Spotify only had music from the past 5 years, 80% of my friends would still be able to listen to their music.

People complaining about gaps in their library are a definite minority.

Indeed. 99% of Spotify users that I know, prefer to play Spotify playlists instead of listen their own playlist...
