I'm absolutely not defending Spotify or any other capitalist entity, but profit by no means constitutes a reason to exist. I know plenty of people who have never turned a profit and in fact accrued debt who are far more valuable than any executive at Spotify.

I just don't give a shit if Spotify or any major labels exist. I buy records and merch from independent labels run by people that actually have a soul.
