Spotify is classic platform economy shenanigans: find an aspect to drive in huge amounts of people, let peer pressure kick in to lure in even more people, then make sure you have an overview over all the little connections between people and objects happening on your, by now hopefully ubiquitous, platform. Finally, use those insights a) to monetize, b) to adjust the user experience towards „what users want“, mainly meaning what keeps them hooked, to exponentialize the potentials of monterization.

As we can see here, the music is mainly the „aspect to drive in people“, which could be any other arbitrary factor, it doesnt matter for anything else a platform like Spotify does
