Conversely, some commenters defended the strategy, arguing that free-tier users shouldn’t expect day-and-date parity with paying subscribers, especially since Spotify’s ad-supported tier contributes a fraction of the per-stream payouts compared to Premium accounts. Always amusing when Spotify subscribers claim to care about musicians. If you actually cared, you would not be paying for a streaming service and especially not Spotify.

most new music is probably AI music, so does this mean paying users get shit on first?

Seems like it would be a marketing effectiveness loss. People hear of the release, want to check it out, but it’s not available to them; the hype falls off. They just lost potential listeners and fans, and wasted marketing/release visibility.
