This should theoretically at least be illegal, as they abuse the power of the platform to favor certain tracks unfairly.
Any action would require a government that pretends to care for the pedons.
Spotify is AFAIK Swedish, so there you go.
PS:
I guess you mean peons.
Pedons is apparently types of soil: https://www.britannica.com/science/pedon
It was started in Sweden where its operations are still based, but it's headquartered in Luxembourg and it chose to IPO on the New York Stock Exchange.
Luxembourg screams "tax efficiency" to me, so their list of pre-IPO investors must be quite the thing.

Hmm
All western regimes sold out us out, mate
Exploiting us is the MO as workers and customers
I disagree, I live in Scandinavia in one of the best democracies in the world.
EU is mostly OK IMO. Democracy can never be perfect, because it's about compromises. But without the compromises you'll have a real dystopia.
But here is just about as good as it gets at our current level of development.
So get real why don't you?
Well put. Cheers, gallons of glogg and a Merry Christmas to you.
Sweden has regressing with the rest of the west.
Sure they have it better than most of oecd but the corporate take over is underway, they botched the immigration policy which resulted with serious crime rates...
A tiny foil wearing person would think that this was done on purpose to undo Swedish strong socio economic policy
Time will tell but the trend for Sweden is not looking good same way as other countries...
OK before you claimed it had already happened stating: "All western regimes sold out us out, mate" .
Now you claim it WILL happen: "the corporate take over is underway".
That's called moving the goal post, and is a VERY dishonest way to argue a point.
You are either confused or dishonest.
It takes a generation to reverse the policy... But first it takes selling out
Go home Ivan, you're drunk.
I am tired boss;)
Indeed. Regulation is deeply unpopular these days. At least with the oligarchs.
We got enough of their bootlickers in this thread lol
