I avoid Spotifry like the plague it is and wish Indie musos also did too as otherwise only supports the damage being done to ALL Music and those very aspirants(sic). However...
On YooBoob if you right-click the vid and choose Stats for Nerds, you can see how much (if any) the bot turned that video's level down overall. Most of my vids, where content is averaged around 0 VU which is (for me) correlated to -12 dBFS, are played back at 100%. It sounds as good as when I mixed it.
It is very common to hear vids that feel trapped, mushy, and other kinds of unpleasant: the Stats for Nerd tell me (as expected) that they content is being played back at around 50% of its exported levels. In reality, the more dynamic material is not only peaking higher - by about 6dB even (several times more louds my droogs)! - but it feels better, brighter, sparklier, easier, more enjoyable... All good things that are lost when master(bait)ing to -0.0001 dBFS.
