I think you raise a very interesting point. While I personally think that paying users get value from Spotify (I'd rather pay Spotify's monthly subscription fee than pay to download each song), some of these tech-based disruptors seem to have created a system in which everyone involved loses. This is perhaps best exemplified with the food-based delivery apps. These apps are not profitable, their delivery workers (contractors) do not have full employment benefits and are not paid very well, and fees are constantly increasing, lowering the customer's value. It's an industry I will be making a video on to go into more detail.

That's a really interesting point. Although Spotify mentioned plans of introducing HiFi lossless streaming back in 2021, it seems like these plans have vanished. I think Spotify has not prioritised this feature simply because a majority of its users are just casual listeners who would simply not notice this difference. So Spotify's thinking might be something along the lines of why focus on this when we have more urgent matters to deal with. Although, as you mentioned, there is a chance that this new feature might be included in a new high-end subscription tier that it's rumoured the company is looking to introduce.

My only real gripe with Spotify, as a long time premium member, is the insane lack of a true shuffle. I'm led to believe that this is also an issue on other platforms, but if you have a sufficiently big playlist, you'll soon learn that shuffle is NOT random. It tries to be cute. It tried to play adjacent music in sequence. However, I LIKE a true random shuffle. I want to hear Black Sabbath and then Prince. Not Black Sabbath, and then Dio (who was in Black Sabbath), and then Ozzy solo, and then Heaven & Hell, all of which have a singular tether. For years it's done this, and it is insane to me. Nobody asked for it so....why??

The reason is simple and known. If Spotify and others create a true random shuffle, which they initially did, they get angry users. People forget that in a random shuffle in a list the change of playing the same song twice or close together is high. Just like the change some songs not being played are high. Or to get multiple similar songs or multiple with very different tempos So Spotify and the other services all adjusted their shuffles to act like what most perceive as random. But every number in the list gets played, not close together, similar styles etc etc. For most users this flawed random with all its tricks feels more random. And yes many people asked for it.

Thank you! I had to focus on large companies first to help me build an audience (as more well known companies tend to attract more viewers). But videos on smaller companies are definitely coming!

Currently, Spotify don't have a set "pay per stream" rate. Instead, it varies greatly depending on whether or not the Spotify user is Free or Premium, which region they're listening from (different regions have different payment modes on Spotify), when it's being streamed (payment also varies on Spotify from day to day) and a variety of additional factors. For example, a Free stream pays much less than a Premium stream. Also, the same person streaming the same track multiple times is worth much less than if different Spotify users stream the same song the same amount of times. If you want to calculate an avarage taking into account all of information, it is around 0,0009 USD per stream.

I'm a long time Spotify user and I confess it was a good experience using YT Premium (no YT ads and YT Music). The Pro with YT Music is that you can find music that are not published on a Spotify, because someone's posted on KZread and you can listen just the audio of that video. The cons of YT Music for me it was hard to find podcasts to listen. And other cons is integration with other services, like Alexa, or even Android. I can use Spotify Music as my alarm clock.

This video is a good view from the financial side of things, however I would continue to use Spotify even if it became more expensive than the other streaming services. I personally find that the algorithm can’t be matched and is always pushing me to discover new music and genres. Not to mention neat features like being able to control music from one device with another device or having group sessions where multiple people can add songs to a queue from their own phones. I tried Apple Music and it just felt clunky outdated and only wanted to push the most popular artists onto me instead of really trying to know what kind of music I like.

I’ve been with Apple Music since the beginning, but tried out Spotify when they had Joe Rogan exclusive and thought about moving over just to have it all in one app. But the more I used the podcast part it would forget where I left off in one and restart it and it did this on multiple occasions. I don’t use the apps to discover music other than “similar artist” suggestions so I’m fine with Apple Music and Apple had radio stations from other countries and I’ve searched Spotify and they don’t have that, so Apple wins on that front as well. Now with Rogan not being an exclusive, I’ve switched all my podcast to Apple podcast now and don’t really use Spotify for anything.

There are definite differences in the catalogs available for streaming as well as audio quality between the popular platforms. Do they all have access to the largest music distributors' libraries? They seem to, but definitely not all the mid to low level labels and artists make all of their music available on every platform. Calling the services identical is simply false.

Given that they also raised prices by 10% in a number of markets, it is almost guaranteed that they will end the year with a profit. Also you forgot to mention something that is super relevant for Spotify, for most of the company’s live they have received tons of money injections from the 3 big music distributors, they basically own Spotify and would have kept injecting money as long as needed, for one simple reason, if you have control of the mean of distribution you are the one making the most profit, and Spotify is the biggest mean of distribution. Spotify has more users than all of the other music streaming services combined.

Good video but you forgot about music sound quality across streaming services, which is an important factor to consider.

I think the other thing is that the competition doesn’t offer a free model. Then theres issues like how people feel that Spotify pays less to artists or the new T&C written up for audiobooks where they want to own all rights to books put on here. As for say them not bringing HiFi Lossless while many currently might not use it that could be a big feature to bring people to them. Personally I’ve been buying CDs which is why I used iTunes then Apple Music just works best with keeping all my music in one place. (I have Apple One) I think there’s certainly a change in society where a growing number of people are wanting to own physical again because they don’t like the price hikes and media especially older stuff being placed behind a paywall. I enjoyed your analysis though good video

Spotify is up 126% this year, they are by no means failing

Record revenue too. This same channel would've made a video on Uber a few years back, saying it's a broken business and will never be profitable. Lo and behold. Uber turns a profit of 1.43B. Who would've guessed a revolutionary business model and idea takes the approach to get as many customers as possible, as quickly as possible, operating on a loss, then rises prices and profits!! thats unheard of. lol.

@@hamzerpanzer q1 2024 gross profit - i've seen the broader playbook often over the last 20 years, with a big tech company seemingly "structurally unprofitable" but growing quickly. Later they're able to monetize properly and grow into their size by making relatively moderate tweaks.

My dad tried to start a music streaming company to break the current model and create a win-win for the customer and musician but it failed because he couldn't get enough big musicians and record labels to get on board (partly because his new model kinda defeats the purpose of the label companies, making them unnecessary and useless in his new business model)

Really good video btw thanks ❤

Spotify is dreadful for people that want to discover new music based on what they like. It's breadth of choice cannot compete with youtube that merely needed to adapt its algorithm to music only.

LPT: you can make multiple youtube channels, each curated for different things you are interested in. Like tech, video games, music (or even different genres of music), etc.

Do we know which category of users, premium or ad-based, generate more money for Spotify?

i am finding yt music and apple music’s UI/UX less encouraging to use after getting used to spotify for years. I really hope spotify can hang around as many days as possible 🙏

Been using Spotify since 2014, switched to Apple in 2021, never looked back since.

this was very interesting

Only reason I pay for Spotify is because of the multi device connectivity it offers, also I hate the YT music UI. And Apple Music just makes me feel more limited to the apple ecosystem which I’m not a big fan of (I use both android and ios)

Do you think you could make a more in depth video that compares Spotify, YTB music, Amazon music, etc. ? Because I honestly don't know which is better for me. Just an idea I have, would love to see it done by you! ❤

The only thing going for Spotify are the network effects with the biggest user base in music streaming.

You are so uneducated about this. You keep talking about how they all offer the same service but that’s far from accurate. KZread music has millions more songs than Spotify does. Spotify is missing so many it’s insane.

Great video. Keep up the good work 💯. I would like to see this channel touches million subscribers this year. Best of luck

0:03 dude got a nice taste of music playing 34+35 😂😂

Great video, you hit every nail right on the head. There is one correction though and that pertains to how you claim Spotify pays out. It's not a fixed amount per stream, it's more of a stream share per market. I'll break it down with simple numbers. If in one month, in the US market, Spotify collects $1 million from subscriptions + ads, 70% of that goes into their royalty pool. Out of all streams that are counted in that month from the US, if Drake accounted for 50% of all total streams in US, his right's holders would get 50% of that pool which would be $350,000. This means you can get the same amount of streams in back to back months but see a different pay out because of how much is in the pool. Keep in mind how I said per market, this means that streams in developing countries such as India are valued less as they have a lower subscription fee resulting in a smaller royalty pool. All this can basically be simplified to Spotify having a 70% tax on all revenue before they can do anything else with their money. Would have also been nice to include something about this (kzread.info/dash/bejne/qI6A1ZWvZNDLdM4.html) on why Spotify can't create their own label but this was a great vid!

Can you do a video about IT outsourcing and how this market changed since the 80s? Use Tata as example 😊. Thank you 🙏

Might just go back to buying CDs and downloading music....

The solution would be get more music record labels on the market. Make it more competitive and lower the prices that way.

Mate your content looks like KZreadrs with millions subs. Cheers for future. Brotha

Spotify is already stupidly expensive.. it is already the same cost as KZread premium, which includes both KZread music and no ads on any platform on YT, background play without third party stuff

KZread Music >>>> Its basically the same Audio Quality as Spotify with way bigger library, without songs getting removed every now and then. Apple Music is only better on Android, as Androids have LDAC and AptX support while iPhones have to be connected with wired headphones for hi-res audio. Also it suffers from same issue as Spotify (LIBRARY). Not to mention with KZread Music, you also get ad-free KZread Videos as well. Other than transfering the playlist, I do not see a reason why people still use Spotify. Like just shift to either Apple or KZread Music.

I’ve tried Spotify a couple times but always come back to Apple Music. I like shuffling all my songs from albums I save. I can’t seem to find a way to do that on Spotify.

The only way I see is if Microsoft buys Spotify, as they do not have territory in the music landscape, but could bundle it with their products

I like Spotify’s diverse feeling UI but I love Apple Music’s simplistic and intuitive user experience. I got an apple products so that’s legit the main reason but if didn’t, Spotify would legitimately be the way to go. (Forgot to mention the audio sounds a little better on Apple Music. Don’t know why but I guess better audio files? :p)

I think Spotify should focus more on user experience and find unconventional ways to engage the users. BTW good video, keep it up!

I had Spotify for a long time now after my KZread Music Subscription ended And I've been thinking if I should get Spotify premium and thinking about it twice, I'm not gonna get it, I've gotten too used to ads like a radio

As someone who used spotify (2years) / apple music (6months) and youtube music (8 months until now) Apple music is literally the worse music streaming i’ve ever used. Cant find many songs, no songs by individual creators. No community playlists Spotify is a great one. Everything is there. KZread is the best one so far, it got everything spotify offers plus you can listen to youtube videos or podcasts (not all podcasts are on spotify). It got all songs, even those uploaded 14 years ago with a weird name. 1- youtube music 2- spotify 3- apple music 😖
