Spotify hasn't invested in Helsing, so if that's your main concern feel free to stop being upset with them.

Daniel Ek, CEO and founder of Spotify, owns the investment Prima Materia company that has invested in Helsing. That's not the same thing as Spotify investing in them.

And I really don't understand the hate for them, I think it's good to support European defense companies considering what Russia is doing and seeing that the US explicitly has asked Europe to take a more active roll in our own defense.

Helsing was set up to build AI to serve our democracies and play a part in protecting them from harm. We share Helsing’s conviction that liberal democratic values are worth defending and that artificial intelligence will be an essential capability to keep us safe. The software gathers data from multiple sensors on vehicles and systems to help humans process complex and diverse information more reliably and act quickly.

Oh no, how terrible! Must change music streaming service immediately!

I’m sorry you’re upset I can make my own choices mate! Cheers.

You're the one who said you were upset, not me. I merely corrected your misunderstanding of the situation. Saying that Spotify has invested in Helsing is demonstrably false, but I really don't care if you make your choices on misunderstandings or lies. I'm sure they're all great choices backed by lots of research.
