[FSP]

Except for all the cats paying for Apple Music

That free trial tho
That family membership pack tho

See, those are smart moves. If Jay Z woulda did some shyt like that from the jump guaranteed he would not be having this problem. Up to 6 people on 1 account.

No funding. You gotta past ppl and maintain servers and a whole bunch of shyt idk about. Spotify just got a round of funding to keep the lights on.

Jay might have to go into hiding...

And yet Spotify seems to be doing fine without any of that

Like I said, look at the media response between Tidal, Spotify, and Apple.

Matter of fact, look at this sites response. Dudes refused to support Tidal because "what have Jay Z done for the black community" and "I ain't trying to make a rich nikka rich."

Mean while Apple sitting 150 billion CASH and the owner of Spotify is worth over 400 million dollars and neither of them have done shyt for black people.

But let me let y'all cook

The music industry right now is looking is the drizzling shyts mane

The internet really did a number on it

 

[CodeBlaMeVi]

99% chance it is.

Dude Spotify is STILL in the red every year even after 9 years of popularity and over 10 million PAYING monthly subscribers. So is YouTube. Streaming is an almost impossible business to make money off of.

Not really. It's the cost of doing business with the major labels. They know people want to listen to their artists and catalogs. The labels are eating plus they're part owners in Spotify.

LOL where's that thread where people were calling nikkas c00ns for hating!!!

Everyone saw this was doomed from the start. A lazy attempt from Jay Z to use the tech market to sell out and become a billionaire. He has no idea how the tech industry works

how does the tech industry work smart guy?

Better to cut your losses and take the L then sink deeper and lose more money.

Spotify is NOT doing fine at all they lost over 200 million dollars last year. While paying 75% of their royalties to artists and the artists still complain about their royalty rates. Spotify is getting ass fukked from both sides of the business coin.

Apple just got finished funding 50 million dollars to black colleges to help their computer science programs

You have no idea what you're talking about here. Jay z put out a rushed product on the premise of star power alone, with no redeeming features, hoping to cash out early and make a quick buck and yes I'm glad it failed. It was a fukking piss poor effort whose success banked heavily on taking advantage of the gullibility and low impulse-control of fans and their spending power to drive revenue that would have ended up with a more expensive fragmented music streaming industry and thankfully that model lost.

This. We never discussed this enough on this forum. Apple will NEVER make a profit off Apple Music.
