Tech & AI Stories My name is Hari and this channel is centered around explaining the economics of tech and social media. These sectors are generally analyzed through the lenses of finance and economics to determine which industries and companies will thrive and which will fall. In addition to this analysis, my content is often focused on the stories of various famous entrepreneurs such as Elon Musk, Steve Jobs, and Jeff Bezos. I also cover the rise and fall of several interesting companies and services that we come across on a day-to-day basis. There have been so many companies that have risen to fame and then died out in a single generation. The most interesting companies are the ones that were able to save themselves and avoid bankruptcy. Feel free to subscribe if you would like to see any of these topics Logically Answered. Also special thanks to my editors flick5832, imrikon, and vvsnet (Discord)!

Video Description

Check out Odoo, the all your business on one platform → https://www.odoo.com/r/yMi Spotify is by far the most popular audio streaming platform in the world. Despite their sketchy roots, they’ve gone on to redefine the music industry and how streaming is monetized, but it’s not all good news. You see, despite Spotify’s mainstream success, the company has never been profitable. In fact, 2024 was their first profitable year, 18 years after they were founded. As a public company, pressure to monetize well is higher than ever for Spotify, which has led to some pretty shady practices. For starters, the streaming industry as a whole has largely reduced the earnings potential of top artists compared to traditional album sales. But Spotify has made this worse for up-and-coming artists by letting them compete with internally produced music that they push much harder, as they don’t have to pay royalties for these pieces. This video explains the dark sides of Spotify and why artists aren’t the biggest fans of Spotify.
