It’s a little different as Spotify/apple/etc don’t produce music and are not trying to out license each other. Really good thing you don’t have to sub to half a dozen music services.
Grateful that they don’t. But they have tried to do it with podcasts.
Spotify “pulled an Apple”, bought Gimlet and moved all their podcasts onto Spotify exclusively. I don’t use Spotify and chose to find alternatives. I’m happy I did.
Music is next.
The shitshow will continue. I think it has just begun.

Tidal seemed to try going down this road with exclusives but thankfully none of the others followed.
Does anyone even use Tidal?
Moded why not
I believe they have a high quality streaming option that some audiophiles prefer.
Ah fair
Isn’t that interesting? Maybe if the studios weren’t allowed to own the TV channels, we’d have more competition and the prices would go down.
Same shit definitley happens with record labels on streaming, thank goodnes for indie, kinda killed that a bit
Thank God I listen to DIY punk subgenres
DIY? That must not mean what I think it does.
ETA: It does mean do it yourself. Interesting.
Look into The Mountain Goats; all their early stuff was recorded on a boombox cassette deck.
