    That's more or less the problem (one of many problems I suppose). Companies seem to think it's a good business model to burn money collecting a user base and then turn all their free users into paying users down the line.

    Think drug dealers. They wanna be that.

      The analogy to a drug dealer is on point. They're relying on users being hooked on their dopamine outlet.

      it's like this to eliminate competition, any alternative has to fund marketing costs + unsustainable pricing, while Spotify will be running their ponzi scheme, effectively leveraging their market position.
