I'm not sure what's wrong with this. In the article the only issue I could find was that when companies are subject to the whims of public investors they get "market discipline" whatever that means.

If they are profitable (most aren't) I don't see why that discipline is necessary.

Can anyone honestly enlighten me as to why Spotify matters? I've used it once and never got past finding anything to listen to while on SoundCloud I was drawn in without even thinking about it and have nearly 60 songs that I wouldn't have found otherwise. Not trolling, I want to find what they offer since I hear about them in the news way more than SoundCloud.
