Probably not in the short term. But I always felt that Spotify having the labels as shareholders was the main guarantee that they would keep their content on the platform.
Maybe they'll need to start producing their own original content like Netflix did.
- toomanybeersies 8y agoThat really wouldn't work though. Most people use Spotify like the radio, they listen to the top 40 chart, or they listen to music they know and love. If Spotify was missing the Warner catalogue, it would be completely neutered. It relies on the fact that I can find 99% of the music I want. Every time an artist or an album gets removed from Spotify, so many people get up in arms about it. Imagine a major label dropping Spotify.

- mywittyname 8y agoThis undermines the entire purpose of paying for Spotify.
