“Creators of a broken system upset that people have found a way to actually profit from said system”.
Spotify has one of the highest quality services and a monthly price that’s barely gone up in a decade. This shit just leads to them having to raise the subscription rate again if they can’t fix the issue with people clearly undermining the payment model. What the hell is it that you people want?
Stupid decisions like paying $200 million for Joe Rogan’s shitty podcast certainly don’t help
Do we know whether they’re making money or a loss on that deal? I remember Joe Rogan’s podcast being really popular
I’ve been boycotting that podcast ever since. Such a stupid decision. And if I’m going to use a streaming service, Apple Music suits my needs just fine.
Wether you like it or not it’s the most popular podcast in the world (or atleast was at the time) No amount of hate is going to change that.
$200 million is a lot of money for a podcast when your core Business is music streaming.
I believe spotify is the most popular podcast streaming app so even if their core business used to be music it’s not that anymore. Atleast not exclusively. Instagram used to be about photography too. Platforms evolve.
You are correct that Spotify is the most popular streaming app for podcasts, at least in the US, as of March 2023
Providing some link backup for you since folks decided to downvote you for saying something they didn’t like.
I like the implication here that your phone is so used to you saying Rohan it autocorrected.
Fixed, LOL
Where was Rogan when the Westfold fell?
On DMT, obviously.
Spotify has some terrible externalities though.

I love YouTube music. I get all the same songs as the other big services, plus free YouTube premium. Between my jam and habit and my quixotic quest to teach myself woodworking, I watch a LOT of YouTube videos.
I switched back to Spotify after google music disappeared.
too much crossover between random youtube videos and actual high quality music
But when you listen to jam bands random YouTube videos ARE the high quality music!
Doesn’t Spotify cap out at like 192kbps? I got sucked into Apple Music once I heard it had lossless music.

I can absolutely hear the difference between 192 and lossless with any of my too-many-pairs-of nice headphones! Not at all with my AirBudz though.
I can absolutely not tell in my car or my partner’s, despite us both having high-end sound systems (theirs is 2kUSD+ and I can’t even tell in there!)
are you old?
with time it gets naturally impossible to hear those differences

Bit depth affects noise floor, not frequency range.
You are correct that the noise floor of 16 bit is well within the limits of human hearing, making 24 bit redundant outside of production.
Spotify maxes out at 256k, so you’re just wrong there.
Spotify has one of the highest quality services
spotify is a great service for spotify
spotify is a great service for the consumer
spotify is a godawful exploitive pile of manure for artists
It kinda sucks for the consumer too. It’s certainly not the best for the price for the consumer at the very least
the highest quality services
What’s you’re definition of quality? Spotify is dramatically less useful than it used to be. So many options taken away shuffling is useless, garbage gets slipped in as a “suggestion”, etc.
How is this undermining the payment model, do tell?
People want the CEO to keep his mouth shut instead of publicly demonstrating his disregard of the art form,
as well as pay artists that create actual music more, and people abusing the system (see the OP) less.What the hell is it that you people want?
Keys to Paradise and a new Bentley. Preferably the ones they use at LeMans…
Your comment seems to be about the user/listener experience. The comment you responded to had NOTHING to do with the user/listener experience.
