I'd rather Spotify went public than got bought by Apple, Google, Microsoft or Amazon. The competition is good for everyone.

  Going public is guaranteed to end in them getting acquired by a US media or tech company. Once public, it won't take long for the present owners to lose control to far more powerful financial entities. The VCs will all liquidate out, leaving a power vacuum that will be gradually filled by those new parties, and they'll do the same thing they always do.

    So buy spotify shares then, they’ll go up?

      Or they go down until a party just buys all of their shares. It's pretty much a gamble.

    This makes me sad. Being European, Spotify is one of the few European companies I'm proud of,

      I would be too if they bothered covering whole Europe. For example they are still not available in Slovenia unlike other services.
