Curious why Spotify is on this list. As a user, I've found their clients to be buggy.

From a UX perspective, they do a little too much "experimentation" which equates to buggy clients but the actual tech is insanely complicated but universally controlled.

They have a C++ layer for each client that binds into Android/iOS/macOS/Windows, etc.

And as for audio and their upcoming video hand in hand with Joe Rogan podcast being an exlusive now, the way they operate in guilds/pods is one of the first examples of this democratized workflow.
