Some of the categories for this infographic are arbitrary within the context of the music streaming market. Spotify is literally a more “incumbent” “monopoly” than the “big tech incumbents” if you only consider the segment of those companies’ operations related to music streaming. Spotify is probably the worst choice of all, both using the ethos provided by the infographic and by other metrics too. Tech companies with 150B capitalisation are big tech regardless of how much bigger others are.
Just a shot in the dark, but something tells me Spotify being an EU company made OP think they were better simply because they weren’t based in the US. Yea, US sucks, but don’t let that rage blind us to other monsters who might get off easy being from one of the “good” countries.
Especially now, 5 months later, Spotify is advertising ICE recruitment videos in Chicago. IMO Spotify is the worst of the bunch.

US = bad, EU = good seems like a very tokenistic approach to the movement. As though its founding principle is nationalism lol
