well you're wrong about that and I suggest you read up on spotify's biz model--
spotify generates a bunch of revenue from ads and subscriptions, they take a percentage of that money for themselves and then distribute the rest to artists based on the artists proportion of total plays generated
if you bot spotify to generate fake plays--the money doesn't come from spotify's cut. You're stealing from musicians.
It just doesn't get any scummier than stealing from artists.
