for any corporate newcomer who reads it ima tell you this -- no matter how many awesome packages and merch and free lunches and gym discounts they offer, these companies are NOT your friends and they do NOT care about you
this cute inclusive welcome culture stuff will be over in a millisecond the moment investors come knocking. do not get your hopes up once you're in, stack coin, cut corners and rip these people off any chance you get
This why I like working for the state
They’re wildly underselling their product which by all accounts should be much more expensive
No they're just pandering to share holders
your wrapped better be 50 mil songs listened and not twelve hours of fatd and wlr
Just 2023
80.000 minutes played
4100 individual tracks
967 different artists
If I had to pay the 70cents per song or 10-15 dollar for an album I would have paid thousands of dollars (or more likely I would have pirated tbh). Now I pay 120 dollars for a year (even less cus I share a family account).
I would not mind paying double that if it meant fairer compensation for artists, for now I support my favourite artists in different ways buying merch physicals or concert tickets.
Hope they go under next year
Tired of the fake stream numbers
Being able to listen to pretty much every piece of music ever put out for $10/month is probably one of the best deals ever
What about soundcloud? U don't even have to pay for it and you have access to an endless amount of amazing music

Real s***
Another Apple Music W
Shouldn't you be taking horse and being s***ty to Adriana?
Joe Budden called this when they talked about how Spotify laid off Dawn Ostroff too. Can't remember the pod episode though.

Shouldn't you be keeping your eyes on the lookout for Kenard

Louder for those in the back
I use spotify free
i bought a jigged account for $3.50 so i've been on somebody elses family plan for 3 years now
i've had spotify since 2009 and i've never paid a single cent to them directly.
I wonder how much their CEO makes

In November 2021, it was announced that Spotify co-founder and CEO Daniel Ek’s investment company Prima Materia had invested €100 million ($114 million USD) in Helsing, an artificial intelligence company based out of Europe that assists in military technological ventures. Helsing’s AI technology is reported to assist with battlefield operations, helping to identify and assess multiple collected forms of data via sensors in order to assemble a picturesque viewpoint which military agents could then use at their discretion.
How are they struggling when they don’t pay artist? Literally free money.
They are losing money to Sony, UMG and Warner who are the real ones making money since they license everything to Spotify
