Ignoring that your comment is about the wrong company, I'd also like to point out that in the music world Spotify is just a convenient scapegoat (as a consumer-facing brand) for practices that are actually the fault of record labels.

Spotify pays out most of its income (iirc around 70%) to labels, but it's up to the contracts between the labels and artists how much money ends up being paid out. Spotify is out of the loop at this point.

Spotify != Shopify

Fu*k ME, sorry. Three days of little sleep and too much internet. I’m definitely taking a break for the weekend. Sorry again. I’m not deleting my comment, needs to stay as a moniker and demand everyone’s forgiveness.

Well, Shopify is still a crappy service. They refuse to do business with merchants engaged in legal trade if they sell items Shopify doesn't like. Knives are out, so are facial skin masks, and you better put down that tube of whitening toothpaste. Of course, if you are a whale like Target, Shopify has no problem with those prohibited items.

Don't worry I read "Spotify" too :P It was only your comment that made me realize it was Shopify.

Maybe this should become a case study in startup naming? (probably already is! too lazy to look it up right now)

The business plan of my new startup Dopify is to help other startups not make silly naming decisions - but we might pivot to selling dope later if it doesn't work out.

I'm such a sucker, I actually googled it before I got the joke lol

I would have gone with "I'm such a dope!"

I had a really good laugh, don't delete it! :)
