Comment on 200+ Labels Withdraw Their Music From Spotify: Are Its Fortunes Unravelling?

"because it turns a service that has everything into a service that has “most stuff”"

Spotify already was a service that has "most stuff"--it was never a challenge to find holes in their catalog.

And judging from the ads that the free version of Spotify plays for me, either their entire userbase is really into country, or their advertising is more intended to badger me into buying a subscription so albums I actually like aren't interrupted by country music every 2-3 tracks.

... has “most stuff” — that’s a life-and-death difference to a hardcore music fan

as you say, spotify's lacking catalogue is not news.

I would be interested to know however if hardcore music fan's makes up the majority (or a significant minority) of spotify's user base. As such is this truely a life-and-death difference to spotify as a whole.
