Spotify also have "playlists" of imaginary non-existing artists that so happens to have a shytload of listeners :patrice:. This music shyt is honestly on the level of just hobby that so happens to pay a bill or two, because the days of balling with iced out whatever the hell are long gone.

Spotify barely breaks even, unless you as a consumer want them to raise prices I dont see his argument.

:gucci:WHY IS SPOTIFY BARELY BREAKING EVEN
WHEN THEY DONT CREATE/PROVIDE ANYTHING?

THE MUSIC MUSIC/CONTENT
IS ALREADY THERE.

NO ONE IS TELLING THEM
TO GIVE PPL LIKE JOE ROGAN
200 MILLION DOLLARS.

THEY HAVE TO OVERPAYING
CEOS/EMPLOYEES AS WELL.

:devil:
:evil:

Gotta be a tour level artist or someone who can book decent gigs. If not, especially if you :flabbynsick: , you in trouble.

I've had Main Ingredient in my rotation for the last few months. Trying to help you out Pete :yeshrug:

They keep telling us streaming is better though. I appreciate my trunk load of cds, 2 hard drives of music, my three crates of albums, and my wall of dvds.

Rogan is content investment, he brings in subs that outweights the investment. The issue is that streaming platforms don't make a lot of money in comparison to the upkeep in content. Spotify was a lossleader for a long time.
