The consumption happens inside Spotify however.
Spotify is like an old-time records store where you'd get the chance to listen to a CD/vinyl record you picked from the aisle before buying it (except that in this case it's a subscription and you stay in the "store" the whole time)
The App Store is like an electronics market where you purchase appliances that you take home and use later.

- EMIRELADERO 2y agoThe users own their devices and the iOS copies inside them. Apple has no business being in the middle once the initial device sale is concluded.
