supertiffany Posted December 4, 2023 Posted December 4, 2023 isnt Spotify only paying labels/musicians or song owners like cents per streams?
harwee Posted December 4, 2023 Posted December 4, 2023 Didn't spotify just reported billions of profits last month? Tech companies is just so trashy and they're doing it right under their staff's nose. They fire people after their reach their bottom line and then redefine what is sufficient staff to make more for next year. They incrementally own the intellectual property built by the staff and then reduce that same staff. 1
Cameltoe Chariot Posted December 4, 2023 Posted December 4, 2023 Apple Music is far superior, but people just can't let go of posting their annual Spotify Wrapped data that no one else reads 1

imabadkid Posted December 4, 2023 Posted December 4, 2023 damn tech companies have been laying off non-stop for the last 12 months.

Taylor fanboy Posted December 4, 2023 Posted December 4, 2023 Tech companies heavily investing on AI just to cut costs by laying off people. Truly disgusting.
Homebrand Posted December 5, 2023 Posted December 5, 2023 None of ya'll have any idea how business work Restructures are always happening and especially this year with inflation and now that the Covid era is over. Literally so many major corporations are doing the same thing currently.

They also pay artists disproportionally a smaller amount per stream than Apple Music does in the States. I am not buying they don't make much of profit BS either. Edited December 6, 2023 by Aristotle

"It's just how business works!" has a very dark undertone when such is tied to people being able to pay their bills and buy food... 1
dumbsparce Posted December 5, 2023 Posted December 5, 2023 As a consumer, I really couldn't care less. I just want to listen to music for the lowest price possible. If that means people I'll never meet will be left jobless then so be it. 4

My implication is that Spotify is not the only company laying off staff. If you read my op again all I was saying is this is the norm for business. Restructuring and having a profitable business model for shareholders and investors too will always be a thing that companies are constantly reviewing. I never said it was a “good thing” for those affected but its reality unfortunately.

No, I am a person with basic human empathy, while you are in here showing sociopathic tendencies on the internet thinking it makes you look edgy, but instead you just look like a loser. 3
