The best example I have right now is with music... I am ALWAYS going to want to be able to listen to my library, it's not really fair to assume I should have to pay monthly for it for the rest of my life, but for every day I don't buy the album and I listen to it on AM or Spotify, I'm in effect paying for a redundant service.
I get the difficulty finding ways to make money, but we are pigeonholing ourselves into a model that is against the best interest of the users.
- sturgill 9y agoI’d disagree in that you can buy an MP3 and listen forever using whatever device. But Spotify isn’t required to sell you MP3s (or guarantee perpetual playback). And, it turns out, that people (in aggregate) really like the Spotify model. One fixed cost to consume all the music you want vs buying entire albums to listen to the 2-3 songs that were decent. There are still two markets in music. That’s not the case with most online services, but I’m comfortable with that.
