Maybe, but I think it could be better if Spotify paid artists per listen instead of just paying them for being popular.

Also Spotify is definitely missing a lot of obscure music and there definitely aren’t enough live musicians. Otherwise I could afford to have a good band play live in my living room every Sunday morning.

Yes, I don't think Spotify is the optimal conclusion of the music industry.
