The Story of Spotify

1. I've never willingly listened to the radio since becoming hooked on Spotify.

2. Please don't propagate that removing Hate Speech aka "Joe Rogan" is censorship. It's not. Hatespeech needs to be deplatformed, and rightly so.

3. how come there was no word about the problem with the apple i-devices? even if you pay, you can´t choose a specific song and you have to listen to adds. maby it is better to get rid of the spotify app on an iphone and try it through the browser…….

4. What I love about Spotify most is its recommendation algorithm. I found my favourite band because of it and I'm genuinely happy to pay them for their work.

5. Perfect

6. Soundcloud is FAR superior and MUCH better for Indie Artists. But also big artists such as DOJA CAT were discovered on Soundcloud.

7. like if you want more money on spotify, pay more, buy individual songs,
   u pay like 6€ in europe for premium, i listen 500 artists probably a month now divide with 6€, you get 0.012 per artist without compenstaitng spotify.
   it's really hard, but the business should be the first one to take some profit and give the rest to others

8. One thing YouTube Music can't be faulted for is the sheer choice available. I used to have a Spotify premium account but I couldn't find lots of artists and tracks that I like but I was able to find them, and a whole lot more, on YouTube Music. Thus I dropped Spotify and opened a YouTube premium with YouTube Music account – the added bonus of which is no ads in YouTube videos. A win-win for me.

9. Joe Rogan being censored is a good thing for everyone.

10. Good for consumers
    Tragic for artists

11. The playlist on Netflix

12. Well, Slacker (remember them?) wasn't bad it's wasn't as user friendly or as expansive as Spotrify

13. Proud owner off an account made when it was invite only 😉

14. Maybe its just realistic income what artists make now there. After a democratization of the industry

15. How did you forget to mention Sean Parkers involvement in spotify. He was one of the founders of napster!

16. I was that Napster, Limewire and torrent downloader! I downloaded everything in those years but I stopped when I discovered Spotify. I was tired of having to wait for all the downloads to come in and my folders growing to epic sizes (Terabyte sizes) and preferred direct access to music and podcasts without having to save all the files. The best feature is to be able to use it on every device I have including the car radio. Just activate Blue Tooth on radio and on your phone, connect and open Spotify on your phone. I was the only one using it so I could listen to my chosen songs while gaming. Then I got frustrated with the radio in the car, it did not have a cd player of course but it did have Bluetooth that was needed for the navigation app. So I started testing something, would Spotify work on it and it did! Now my husband uses Spotify everywhere too. On his phone, pc, tv and car radio! And all this for an affordable price! I can even connect to a Spotify group set up by my gym, so I can have my music played in the entire gym and all my fellow gym people add to the list too. Very sociable when sharing music with strangers haha! (I already shared with friends on Spotify so this was new to me). I just hope that Spotify doesn't go full woke as it has had episodes of a leftist tantrum here and there. But at least it allows most creators on there if not all so far unless the artists themselves pull if off like we have seen a few months ago.

17. I didn't even know what Spotify was before this. I might have to give it a download now. Cheers Dagogo

18. Spoofy would still be the best choice for a name

19. Spotify made $8 billion dollars this year. They pay artists $0.00437 per stream. They can go fuck themselves.

20. Its not a testament to how much power the platform has but rather how worthless music is

21. I remember my Swedish friend showing me Spotify around 2009/10 and being amazed at how fast it was.

22. i used all those programs.
    some i still use like u torrent and winamp

23. Wh y is Spotify now known as SPOTALIE

24. I would love to hear about the bots faking popularity. Save your Tears from The Weekd had 1800 Indian bots using 4G proxies working nonstop. Interesting? Most were proxies from US and Canada, trying to give credibility to streamings. Spotify = Payola.

25. It’s crazy how this guys solution was the same as Gabe Newell’s solution with steam. Make the service better than pirating games.

26. Apple Music family plan is cheaper than with Spotify.

27. Came here after watching “the playlist”

28. Attention major artists, time to have your music removed from Spotify since they refuse to pull bigot Ye West.

29. These origin stories for startups are all bullshit, I was in an accelerator and the first thing we were told is to make shit up about how we came up with the idea.

30. this video sounds too bias to me . 10:58 is just purely your own opinion. Daniel Ek is begging her back, not the other way round.

31. I still kick myself when I got offered in 2008 to contribute for shares.

32. I very first used Spotify in 2010(I remember this as I discovered it the night I split with my then, current gf)…all I remember was it was totally free and I loved it!

33. Great video n story

34. I still somehow prefer Deezer over Spotify. 🤷‍♂

35. Here after finishing The Playlist on Netflix. Great mini-series, entertaining
