And still underpaying the artists compared to Apple Music
deleted by creator
the company’s expenses for research and development, marketing, and administrative costs totaled a staggering €978 million
What did they research then lol
It also says marketing, so who knows how much of that is actually for research and development.
I imagine spotify could research how to make their data centers and delivery more efficient, music suggestion algorithms, or just in general how to best retain and aquire new customers.

I quit a few weeks ago … couldn’t stand the infernal podcast promotions that never ended. Until I cut the cord!
Seriously!! I listened to one podcast one time and now my whole front page on mobile AND CarPlay is all podcasts. The CarPlay is what I care about more because I’m fucking driving you can’t navigate to find new music. It’s mind blowing
About to be 219,999,999 after this price hike
Are people really unsubbing over a dollar a month? Seems kinda insignificant if you’re actually using the service.
Nah, but people on the internet love to pretend. I just hope this price hike benefits the artists at least somewhat.
Lol. I stopped paying when price grew from 4,99 a month.

I’d complain, except it hasn’t gone up in a decade.
Prices needs to go up a little bit every year to reflect CPI and inflation.

Meh, overhyped. Prime music ftw
Yep, better bit rate as well
I never had a subscription. If you guys use android, go to fdroid and download musify or black hole. Save your $$ and avoid buying stuff from Google, Amazon, spotify and Facebook. Save internet from going to shits.
Where do musify and black hole get their content from?
Blackhole uses YouTube API but not sure about musify
