The Death of Spotify: Why Streaming is Minutes Away From Being Obsolete
Jimmy Iovine just called the Death of Spotify. He might be right.
Note
Curator's note
Well, do not bother reading this. Even if I see the shift away from Digital Streaming Platforms, the future predicted by this silicon valley tech-bro might work for a Taylor Swift and other top 0.001% of artists, but huge platforms like Spotify, Deezer and Apple Music are here to stay for a while.
Or Jimmy has a very long minute in mind.
Highlights
Iovine is arguably the most important living bridge between music and tech. He co-founded Interscope Records, built Beats by Dre, and then sold it to Apple for $3 billion to help launch Apple Music. He knows where the bodies are buried because he dug half the graves.
