Music streaming platforms' audience sizes compared
- quahada 14y agoAmong the bleeding edge tech community, Deezer and Spotify are considered the poster children. It's interesting how big Pandora's following is, and how this will change over time as awareness for the newer services builds among the general population. It will also be interesting to see a trend comparison of pure internet radio platforms, like Pandora and Songza.
- marcadam 14y agoYep - the thing about these numbers are that they're obviously based on registered users, not active users. For example, which Spotify may have 33 million users, only 20 million of those are active. Pandora may have an impressive 150 million registered users, but I imagine the drop off rate of active users is relatively high given the increase in popularity of other services.
- quahada 14y agoyeah, and with these streaming services there's also free vs paid users. And Pandora is not profitable. I believe Pandora loses money with each user-hour, which means more users == more losses.
