Sure, maybe they could get to an IPO without addressing the issue, that doesn't in any way invalidate the legitimacy of the posted article.

There is a vulnerability. It is exploitable. In the long run spotify _will_ be negatively affected if it isn't addressed.

Honestly surprised that there is any arguement whatsoever to the contrary.

If it was, 'well they can make it to IPO before addressing it' as you've stated, sure, that's valid. The parent was saying, 'it's not an issue, it's a matter of perception'.... Which is extremely naive and shortsighted. Perception is the very thing that drives advertisement cost.

Nope, doesn't invalidate what he did. Everyone would be better off if this was either cleared up or if other streaming services with models less prone to fraud could pop up.

Is it my tone then?

Rereading my posts I do seem like a braggadocios douche, but I'm not incorrect at all I don't think; the comment I'm replying to is incorrect though.

That I genuinely feel is true.

Yes the parent comment you were replying to was off base and you were right to correct him. You didn't seem rude to me. I was being a little bit sarcastic about Spotify riding a fraud-wave to a public offering based on inflated numbers.
