interesting that Qobuz, Tidal, Napster, and Apple Music all pay 3-10x more per stream than Spotify, yet hardly any normies who complain about shitty streaming artist fees use them. seems like Spotify’s discovery algo is the real deciding factor for consumers listening to music, not paying artists. revealed vs. stated preference. also worth noting that each of the competing platforms listed above offers higher audio quality than Spotify, ranging from lossless 44.1/16 all the way to 192/24. this also doesn’t seem to matter too much for the average listener.

Even though those other platforms pay a bit more, I don’t think it would make a big difference if everyone left Spotify for Tidal or Apple. The streaming model mostly benefits the labels and the biggest artists anyway. That’s why I’m into Bandcamp and web3 platforms, they let me directly support the artists I care about. As long as historical catalogs dominate our attention and remain controlled by the big labels, I don’t see any major changes happening. Spotify even had to give them equity just to do business.

People don’t just pay for Spotify for music, it has audiobooks and podcasts too. The podcasts are probably what make it sticky.

It’s just network effects imho, algo is fine but people share links, etc and it was just first. Rule 1 (of 22 Immutable Laws of Marketing) The Law of Leadership…it’s mind blowing how many category leaders were also first and not best
