      If you are a Spotify exec, there is a problem.

      If you are an indie musician who sees your payout being reduced because Spotify says they need to pay white noise podcasts, there is a problem.

      If you believe that this is a zero-sum game and Spotify prints money like magic, there is no problem.

        All you’re saying is that different tracks/shows are competing for attention, and white noise is doing well in that competition. You could make the same argument about any genre.

        Country music is taking a portion of the income that white noise could get paid. Therefore remove all country music from sp0tify.
