      The point is they haven’t turned a profit even with people having premium. So what’s the reason for them to exist

        This is the case with a lot of companies. Facebook didn’t turn a profit for 10 years or something that sounds equally crazy.

          That’s more or less the problem (one of many problems I suppose). Companies seem to think it’s a good business model to burn money collecting a user base and then turn all their free users into paying users down the line.

          Think drug dealers. They wanna be that.

            it’s like this to eliminate competition, any alternative has to fund marketing costs + unsustainable pricing, while Spotify will be running their ponzi scheme, effectively leveraging their market position.

      A hacked client on the free tier is also a decent experience.

      This month’s expenses:-

      • Concert tickets: $350
      • Vinyl records: $100
      • Pirating Spotify: $0

      I think I’m winning.
