Understanding The Broken Business of Spotify

Spotify is a $50B+ company, but they have never turned a profit. But why does Spotify keep losing money? The answer to this question becomes more clear when we take a deeper look at Spotify's business model. The current music streaming industry has become very competitive. Adding on to this is the fact that these services have to work with a very consolidated music recording industry, which is run by a powerful oligipoly of three companies. All these facts make it difficult for Spotify to turn a profit, despite the fact that the company has over 530 million active monthly users. #spotify #spotifyeconomics #whyspotifykeepslosingmoney
