To add to your argument: Spotify has 206 million users - almost half of which are paid subscribers.[0] This describes exactly the point of contention since free users are financing spotify through ads instead.
I think it is also plausible to assume that among the paid subscribers a higher margin are primary users of spotify for music consumption, while free users have a higher share of secondary users (relying more on vynil, CDs, limewire).
The dark side then again for example are news sites - very few of which seem to be able to finance themselves well via subscription services.
