    I can listen to pretty much any song I want on Spotify. Does Spotify have a monopoly?

      I think there are a ton of valid arguments that they have far too much control of the music streaming market. At least enough power to affect the licensing costs and artist incomes.

      There have been more than a few anti trust claims made against them.

      Do I think they’re too big and have an outsized influence? Yes. Definitely.

      At the moment at lot of what they’ve done have benefited consumers though, but that doesn’t mean that will always be true.

      Never trust a profit driven business to work in your best interest.
