just curious to understand, how do you think that they can afford to offer such a good service for free forever?

Oh, what's wrong with it? But read my question with a generic touch to it, be it YouTube or anything. Users don't want ads, they don't want to pay, but want everything for free 💁🏻‍♂️

No such patience testing, availability of ALL songs, plus lyrics in many, and you can play with screen off (it didn't make sense until I used it)

I saw The Playlist a few days back. Its really fascinating how they are moving far away from the ideology with which the company was built.

From Spotify's POV, if a free user is not ever going to switch to premium, there is no incentive for them to continue offering their free service.

From user's POV, you are free to switch to any other app which you find better.

So, what's the issue here? Neither of you have any obligation to each other.

If you were the CGO or CPO at Spotify India, what's your way forward after this?
