Spotify is definitely not the villain here, they have created the best music streaming platform in the world. The big publishers also can't be called the villains per say, but it wasn't so nice of them to force a small startup (Spotify in it's early days) to sign contracts that will permanently force it to payout about $0.66 out of every $1 it makes.
Like the article explains, they can't price their services too expensively, because of competition. If Spotify becomes $25/month, most users will move to Apple Music or YouTube Music, etc.
I was wondering the same thing. Also, if you liked the content (and want to be getting informative content like this), I would appreciate if you subscribe to the newsletter. Thanks in advance.
Netflix and X are both Tech companies, so this is tech related content. Which follows Rule 2 of the community. Posting about 'Drake's new music video' for example will be "unrelated stuff to this community".
