Putting all the best features behind a paywall, opening up ad space as well as sponsored song spots... Where have I seen this before?
Pandora, but at least they were honest about it.
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.
