Is there anything to expect from Spotify aside from music streaming? Anything that might differentiate them in the long run?
Seems really hard to build a sustainable music-streaming business when all major competitors can simply subsidize this rather complementary part of their business (AZ, Apple, etc.).
- notyourwork 9y agoI agree, this seems like a cash out for a market leader who will decline over time. (For context, I am a paid subscriber and still don't see how spotify remains leader over time due to cost.)
- BinaryIdiot 9y agoAt one point I thought they were positioning themselves to be THE premier, one stop shop for all listening, when they added podcast support and were planning on more. But it's been at least a year since they added Podcast support and it's frightfully bad. I tried to use it for a week and it was just so terrible and lacked all of the basic features of any other podcast app. I'm not convinced they can do anything else successfully to be honest. At least I'm not impressed with some of the newest stuff like podcasts.
