Apple was ordered by EU antitrust regulators today to open up its closed ecosystem to rivals, with the latter spelling out details on how to go about it in line with the bloc’s landmark rules and where non-compliance could lead to an investigation and fines.

    I don’t entirely buy this argument.

    In my experience, Spotify has made music accessible enough that I listen to thousands of hours per year, far more than anyone else I know. Vs before Spotify I couldn’t be bothered. Even assuming Spotify pays artists less than other mediums, there’s a point where the much higher listening rate is the better choice.

    I’m not especially hard core of a music listener so my attempts at other services were disappointing enough that I probably wouldn’t bother.

        Certainly the fake artists and ai crap bothers me, but I haven’t yet been knowingly affected by that. Most pop music sounds generated by ai anyway so what’s a few more.
