    So now that Tidal has moved its Hi-Fi tier price down to match Apple’s wtf is Spotify doing? Charging more than the competition, paying artists less, and not even offering lossless?

      Spotify is less vulnerable to customer churn compared to TV/movie streaming services, as users are less likely to switch music streaming providers due to the hassle of rebuilding playlists and losing personalized recommendations.

      Spotify has over 200mill paying subscribers and over 600mill total I believe. They an afford the peel off unfortunately.

      From what I can tell Tidal won’t even publish their subscribers so it must be pretty small.
