Claims no production staff were affected. Don't know the employee breakdown but imagine production is a huge portion of it. Hard to believe entire other divisions weren't completely eliminated if production not touched.

Streaming music kind of already is a commodity and the main thing that keeps users tethered to a service are playlists. I'm sure Spotify could eventually raise prices a bit but obviously only so much. I think their biggest threat woul
