Maybe they shouldn’t’ve thrown so much money into the pivot to podcasts, then thrown a bunch of money at that meathead idiot.
Comment on "Sponsored recommendations": I pay for Spotify Premium, and yet somehow I'm still the product?
NENathaniel@lemmy.ca 10 months agoGreedy business model seems slightly unfair tbh. Spotify struggles to remain profitable and they’ve only raised their prices by like $1 in a decade

Yeah that $100 billion they gave Joe Rogan is where your payments go.
FontMasterFlex@lemmy.world 10 months ago
they didn’t give Joe Rogan 100 billion dollars you dunce.

I think it was 1000000 trillion bazillion dollars, you drooling braindead goon.

No company in their right mind would pay one person $100,000,000,000! Come on!
notatoad@lemmy.world 10 months ago
yeah, it’s not spotify’s fault that splitting $10/month between all the music you listen to doesn’t pay the artists very much.
NENathaniel@lemmy.ca 10 months ago
Yea, companies that pay more typically either charge more (Tidal) or have the advantage of a massive profitable company backing them (Apple Music)

Just because they’re incompetent doesn’t mean they’re not greedy.
Also, executives can still be cleaning up even as the company struggles to profit.
NENathaniel@lemmy.ca 10 months ago
Executives being greedy isn’t the same as a greedy business model
loom_in_essence@lemmy.world 10 months ago
This makes no sense. Greedy execs are the ones who would implement a greedy business model to pursue their greed.

What part of the executive compensation package are you taking specific issue with exactly? From what I could see, they’re largely paid in stock and the CEO hasn’t taken a bonus since COVID.
Or are you just talking executives in general and not looking at what Spotify does specifically?
