I think it's pretty safe to call Spotify a big tech company at this point
- panopticon 6y agoIt's a weird world where a company that does billions in annual revenue isn't considered big.
- modo_mario 6y agoIt's big but it's tied to a single service as opposed to being some huge conglomerate like microsoft or google that has it's hands into dozens of markets.
- hnra 6y agoI think a lot of people use the phrase "big tech" to refer to the giants whom use lobbying, monopoly power, etc. to stay disproportionately big.
- rocqua 6y agoSpotify is starting to do this with podcasts.
- girvo 6y agoThough their UI really needs some work in my opinion for it to be worth it. I subscribed specifically to listen to their exclusive podcasts, but bounced off and cancelled a month later due to it being a honestly not great experience. It's possible that my expectations don't match the wider worlds though: my girlfriend loves Spotify and uses it for podcasts as well as music. For me, music requires album-focused UI, and I honestly prefer having Podcasts broken out into it's own app or interface. Mixing the two just didn't feel right.
- hedora 6y agoHappy Tidal user here. :-)
- cobalt 6y agoor any company that has their hands in everything
- TheCoelacanth 6y agoIt makes sense when you are comparing them to companies that do hundreds of billions in annual revenue. Big and small are relative.
