Spotify skipped their lockout period, with pretty boring results.

Wouldn't "boring" results be good for Spotify? Rather than having tons of people selling right off the bat?
Spotify seems to have gone up in the months following IPO, which suggests there is enough liquidity on the market to absorb stock sales by employees and a lockout period is unnecessary.
hard to say with just 1 event. i could see interesting things happening if uber were to direct list without a lockout. there's a lot of hype, value, and losses.
ahh, neat! i assumed they didn't because i assumed levine would have said that in the article. maybe i just glossed over that part.
