Even with prime it's interface is so dull it's so basic and there content are less compared to Spotify

I have prime for shopping and stuff and still use Spotify ,just like it better honestly.

I have prime and I still pay for Spotify. It’s just better in my opinion.

I only use it when I have prime and want to have karaoke night with myself.

I have Amazon Music with my prime, but it excludes a lot of songs. If I had a nickel for every time Alexa reminded me that Spotify is a worthwhile investment, I might actually be able to afford Amazon music unlimited.

I would say the Same to Apple Music. Its prbly a opinion choice

@@edwardhorch9473 Trust me. I'm all appled up. In deep in the eco system and used apple music and it just wasn't great for me. Its good that you can get more out of it than I did though. I just wish I could switch my default music app in my iPhone though lol

James Brocklehurst Apple has better music quality lol

Last month, i wasnt able to continue my subscription to spotify because the app won't let me. Lol, so i tried youtube premium and I like it more now. I can listen to different concerts, and differe t songs that cannot be found in spotify and lastly no more annoying ads when watching yt vids.

in the past I would've agreed. Now, ehhh....

That's is the thing i love the most. Recommendations for my favorite playlist, real jewels.

Yeah, in that sense Spotify is like google while Apple Music is bing

their recommendations are insanely good

That's why I like it Even hidden gems get spotlight

It's still kinda early to announce any sort of victory yet, companies like Amazon and Apple are still far larger in overall presence compared to a company like Spotify, whom number of employees and corporate resources are still "miniscule" compared to their competitors which are giants within their own right. Same thing with Netflix, whom is currently struggling to churn out successful original contents and intellectual property to boost it's own portfolio, compared to companies like Disney who can easily offer a way more massively impressive number of exclusive content catalog by their own intellectual property ownership alone. If neither Spotify or Netflix continue to innovate and improve in terms of contents and as a service then they would most certainly become irrelevant within the next decade.

Any money spent on music is a waste. Haven’t spent money on music since Fugees - The Score.

Judge Dredd wtf are you talking about you paying for the convenience and high fidelity music. I’ll gladly pay.

Jovanny Rijo I’m talking about stealing music it’s pretty clear.

@@JudgeDredd_ I guess pirating music is pretty difficult if you listen to a large variety of music, this year alone according to my last.fm data(the software I to monitor my music listening patterns) I've streamed around 7,271 different tracks just off Spotify (15,077 total streams if you include repeated songs). .

darkchurchhill Holy crap! Maybe that means I’m not listening to enough new music then. Soundcloud and a couple of different underground channels I follow is pretty much how I find new artists. So I guess I’m just vastly limited since I don’t pay for these services.

You can actually find audio books here and there on Spotify. I was able to find all Jane Austen's; just search for "audio book"

@@redi6460 no it's not honestly, audio books would fit perfectly on spotify.

Rishikesh Ingle I don‘t think so. I would love for it to be the one stop solution for all audio related things.

@@jensenraylight8011 Yes and neither of such services will be relevant if they failed to innovate in years to come, that's what people are getting at here, and why more potential investors so reluctant to continuously bet their money into investing into services like Netflix. You are also forgetting there are nothing particularly unique about Netflix or Spotify that can't be directly emulated by other companies in this day and age. If company like Amazon, Apple, Disney, etc. etc. choose to offer a higher quality services with way more content offerings at a way more aggressive pricepoint then services like Spotify and Netflix will be toast because these companies simply cannot afford to undercut it's financially larger competitors especially not in the long run.

@@jensenraylight8011 I have all of them including those of Amazon and Apple that I sign-up for ages ago, your point being? Also you don't seem to understand what people are saying here, nobody is saying that Netflix and Spotify can't win but rather don't bet at them to become relevant for the next few years because right now Netflix and Spotify only saving grace is that they are market leaders and they did everything first and did it right but in the next few few years who knows? Because loads of thing can change in a couple of years especially for tech companies. Currently, Netflix and Spotify are merely paying through their teeth for video and audio contents that are made by other companies/parties in order to attract and retain their customers. Case in point, Netlix only noticeably well-known original IP being Stranger Things, which is like the only massive runaway success for them since their inception, while no other of their original contents have come close or just falling short altogether.

@@jensenraylight8011 And what's a platform without contents? Are you actually implying that a platform can survive just because it have good service and features? Kindly stop talking about stuff you know nothing about.

Ironically Valve is has the highest earnings per employee of any US company.

@@xanpenguin754 that's awesome.

@Nathaniel12345678910 a video game company. Counter-Strike franchise, Dota 2, Half-Life franchise, etc. comes from Valve.

@Nathaniel12345678910 They made steam. I'll elaborate later once I finish taking a dump. Ok so basically Steam is the main marketplace for games on PC. Unlike Spotify and Netflix, Steam is not a simple thing and is more than just a marketplace. Games, groups, communities, economies, mods, etc. I could go on forever. They're always experimenting and doing a lot. They have done so much that other companies can't do and have grown such a loyal userbase that they have a monopoly. Steam is so influential it pretty much caused the rise of digital entertainment not just for games, but for almost everything. Netflix and other mediums probably wouldn't exist. Did I mention Valve makes 30% of all purchases on Steam? Keep in mind it isn't just games people buy, Steam basically has it's own functional economies. So they're pretty damn rich. Steam is so beloved by the gaming industry that it is pretty much immune to criticism. They also made Half-Life, Portal, Dota, Counter Strike, Team Fortress, Left 4 Dead, etc. They were one of the most influential companies in the world before Steam was even popular. Kinda changed pop culture not just the gaming industry if I'm being honest. Lots of movies and shows are heavily derivative of Valve's games and their stories. Valve isn't like Microsoft or Sony with gaming platforms, or Netflix or Spotify. They do whatever they want. They're almost frustratingly mysterious sometimes. They stopped making big games after 2013 or so. Why? Who knows. They do what they want. They're almost always silent. No adverstisements either. It's really weird. Even some of their games have an ominous and such a compelling feel, you see games like Portal 2 and Half Life 2 and it can only be a Valve game. The only thing I can think of to compare Valve to is Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, very weird company. Quite fascinating. I'm not even a gamer.

Yah but these companies make money off of spotify and netflix. They used Amazon AWS, They pay google play and appstore for the download,

@@PressKevinToContinue also the way they use psychological tricks to suggest users to go premium is very smart. dont wanna pay full price? no problem you can get it for cheaper if you are a student, or if you bundle it and go for the family plan. Then each person just ends up paying like $50 per year. I know I would not go free because i save too much songs onto my playlist and love the platform itself.

TheLostOne Buy an account from a website like $5 for a year. Can also upgrade your own account.

TheLostOne it’s not really a trick. If you look at it that way, All advertisements are a trick. They want you to pay them money. They are a business. So they are going to remind you, that “hey, you aren’t paying us money. You should do that.” It’s pretty much common sense, especially in the adult world. Everyone is fighting to get recognition, to have as many people as possible buy as much as possible, to achieve the greatest PROFIT possible. You learn pretty quick what people’s intentions are, and the smarter a person is, the longer it takes to determine their intention because they know how to hide it. Case and point, Spotify isn’t doing anything wrong bro

@@JohnFKennedy420 tricks was not a good word to use there, but psychology plays a huge part in everyday business. Spotify was never doing anything wrong, instead they are doing everything right as the video has suggested. Which is why Spotify is winning.

Ruma this is a lie... having extra fans with less percentage statistically makes you no real gains. less fans with a higher percentage is better for you in any market because objectively you create a loyal fan base who are willing to help you survive versus the global reach you get now in which one song is all a large global market supports rather than with a small market you are fairly appreciated and gain more money.

Razor Ultra because of the stock market money.

They don’t pay out enough royalties. Look at any other service.

Apple Music isn't profitable either. They just use the rest of their business to subsidize their music service. Not exactly fair competition (this applies to Amazon and Google as well of course) but that's how it is. Spotify may not be profitable, but investors believe in it, hence why it is still very much alive. Very glad it is as well, someone challenging the giants is good for the consumer in the long run.

They don't pay enough royalties to artists, but they also don't keep enough money for their company. Because of their free version not making as much as their paid version they are just not making enough money in the first place

Who?

@samruddha tupe perfectly said, true true. also, soundcloud in a mobile broswer like firefox allows adfree, screen off, music listening, nonstop, all day. And often many popular songs are hard but available to save or bookmark, including hour long playlist compilations... beats spotify there big time, no install required at all

@samruddha tupe truth truth

a lot of famous artists now started on soundcloud namely billie eilish, marshmello, post malone, kehlani. it's a good place to start for artists. soundcloud is very different also. it's more like a social media for artists since artists can repost songs comment on songs reply on comments. it helps other artists to go viral like marshmello when he got reposted by skrillex.

@@bharatavarsha10k Spotify isn't a subsidiary of Tencent. Tencent Music is a joint venture between Spotify and Tencent to provide the Chinese market with music streaming services. Basic research solves a lot of ignorance and misinformation.

Lol

Without big record studios you won't even meet the half of the music you have. And of course they won't sound the same neither.

The major labels have always been greedy and taken more than their fair share. Now is no exception. They've struck deals with Spotify to stay afloat, and more money goes from Spotify to the suits at the major labels than to the artists they claim to work for, the ones who's product they're selling. You are right that 20 bucks for a CD is outrageous, and it always has been outrageous. People did care that CDs were overpriced, that's why piracy blew up. If people had remained happy with the price of music, I don't think they would have resorted to searching for low quality mp3 rips online. Then perhaps the advent of streaming wouldn't have been as quick and detrimental to artist. I also think that 20 dollar price stems from the fact that before digital, CDs were considered to be higher quality than vinyl, and vinyl records were around 10 bucks for a new album, maybe 12. It wasn't until iTunes and Napster really made everyone realize that CDs are just the plastic on which the digital music files were stored that CDs were eventually deemed to be worth less than records. Nowadays new vinyl records are around 20 bucks and new CDs are closer to 10, same price as new digital albums on iTunes and Amazon.

@@rlyehdate For sure. Not like half the music I listen to on spotify have ever even touched record labels before these artists gotten big. Record labels are just there for Artists to make money off concerts and tours. Thats it.
