    Putting all the best features behind a paywall, opening up ad space as well as sponsored song spots… Where have I seen this before?

        When Sirius bought Pandora and started bleeding subscribers, that closed doors for Spotify. No way to increase revenues but by increasing ads.

          Wait, how would Sirius/ Pandora bleeding subscribers be a bad thing for Spotify?

            It’s not necessarily a bad thing short term, but traditional media is much less likely to acquire them so that door is closed.
