Kind of unfair to include at the end the only one important sentence for a publicly traded company.

"Spotify touted major user growth to finish out the year, and after announcing that it had best revenue expectations, the company’s stock price jumped."

Then, why would this author choose as title this: "Spotify's podcast bet went wrong"?

Not as professional as I would expect. Just another publisher seeking controversy and clickbait.

There are always deals gone wrong and bad management decisions in a company with the size and notoriety of Spotify. But, its not cool to post a piece that doesn't balance out all valuable info.

5 years after a huge bull market, it is still below IPO price. The tiny stock price jump is not enough to counter that basic fact.

Article authors don't typically write the headlines that appear above their pieces.

That's not an acceptable excuse.

For the author? Totally seems like it would be...

Revenue while losing money is not exactly a win.
