I don't think the article's audience are professional EEs/PCB designers otherwise they'd know all of this stuff and then some. So anyone serious should probably seek out a better reference.
My Spotify experience was poisoned as soon as I signed up some 8 years ago to try it; I realized there was no way to remove the popular but garbage music from the dashboard. It was essentially advertising space for slop. So I cancelled my subscription within 1-2 days. I instead ended up going with Youtube Music which doesn't try to push propaganda on me and instead either shows me what I have in my library already that I have saved and/or uploaded myself, and music that they think I'd enjoy based off of my library.
Prior to this like many other people I was a hardcore Grooveshark fan/user. There were other services, but their names escape me at the moment. I was looking for a replacement and platforms kept coming and going, but Youtube Music (for all of Google's faults) seem to have stayed all this time. I'm still using it, it's still not pushing slop on me. I'm happy.
As an aside, accepting that I'm in the minority here speaking on behalf of them, I am not someone who would write a blog post announcing that I'm leaving some shitty platform. I'll just cancel my sub and move on. I don't need nor want to grandstand regardless of AI or just people's shit taste.

You've been here since 2016 and this is the kind of posting that finally gets to you? How in the world have you avoided all the shitposts in the last decade? What is your secret?
I just want to know if I can buy a gaming video card at a reasonable price or if i should hold off on it. I don't care about the AI shit. And yes I'd prefer nvidia because their closest competitor can't tape a box together nevermind develop and assemble a graphics card.
