Peter Kafka, writing for Recode, reports that Spotify denies that they are demoting songs in search that have been exclusives on other streaming platforms:
Spotify doesn’t like it when big-name acts take their music to Apple or Tidal first.
But it’s not punishing them when they do, by making their stuff harder to find in the music service’s search results, the company says.
That accusation, sourced to anonymous sources in a Bloomberg report out today, is “unequivocally false,” says a Spotify rep.
Good.
