Let me tell you a story of why Twitter failed at doing a music service. When they launched, they gatekept who could be deemed an “artist.”

So they blessed certain artists to be listed on the a Twitter music service, like Beyoncé, but the big artists couldn’t give a rip. So Beyoncé and others never promoted it. Meanwhile hordes of independent artists were waving their arms saying, “We’re here!” Twitter ignored them. Their music service failed.
