    yes but spotify is also europes only afaik unicorn and that needed some serious cash (many people forget but i was hearing how streaming doesnโ€™t work and spotify hasnโ€™t been profitable ever for like 15 years!! right up until last year and now itโ€™s a big evil megacorp, how quickly the story can change) europe doesnโ€™t have its unified market setup yet so america is where you have to go

    this isnโ€™t a failure of spotify, itโ€™s a failure of the EU which tbf is something theyโ€™ve working on
