How long can Spotify lose money? It isn’t clear to me how they could ever make money as long as they depend on other’s IP.
Does Spotify have radio stations like Apple Music does? DJs having creative control and not having ads makes for good listening.

- celestialcheese 4y agoForever. With Spotify's subscriber base, the rights holders will never let them die. Universal, Warner, Sony, etc will adjust royalties up and down while still keeping the catalogue healthy enough to keep the blood pumping so they can continue their perfect leech, and never kill the host. The podcast business was a shot at breaking this cycle, but it's unclear if it's actually working. If they make too much from podcasting, I don't see why the big 3 rights holders wouldn't just raise their rates to take them back to break-even.
