alt Hacker NewsI wish they'd buy Spotify...
Keep one SRE to keep the servers running, one guy to do security updates to the app, and the team that acquires rights to music.

Why do you think that a platform with so many customers as to be industry defining, with dozens of interface options, with a massive feature set, with a global footprint and basically flawless uptime requirements, could be kept running by two guys?

You need at least 3 devs to keep adding popups to the app with offers, upgrades, and other "related content".
This will never happen.
Labels literally negotiated their own royalty rates down in exchange for shares in Spotify. It’s the perfect way to push artists out of receiving earnings.
I think record labels would be first in line to buy Spotify if it was ever for sale.
