      “Yes, but…”

      • Listed on the New York Stock Exchange via a holding company in Luxembourg that issues American depositary receipts. (Who knows what percentage of its ‘shares’/ADRs are held by U.S. investors?)
      • Paid Joe Rogan US$100 million for his alt-right podcast.
      • Donated $150,000 to President Donald Trump’s 2025 inauguration ceremony, as well as hosted an inauguration-related brunch.

        yes but spotify is also europes only afaik unicorn and that needed some serious cash (many people forget but i was hearing how streaming doesn’t work and spotify hasn’t been profitable ever for like 15 years!! right up until last year and now it’s a big evil megacorp, how quickly the story can change) europe doesn’t have its unified market setup yet so america is where you have to go

        this isn’t a failure of spotify, it’s a failure of the EU which tbf is something they’ve working on
