The elephant in the room: Will Spotify survive the coming wave of generative AI audio content? Wasn't any mentioning on that in the letter.

Seems to me like they would need to ditch a lot of silly investments like original content, platform engineering on Kubernetes and scaled agile which together carry costs in the range of $100s millions, to free up resources to battle new disruptive technologies.

I would think so, people want to listen to swift and drake not some ML song with no relevance.

Tbh I would rather listen to a ML song than drake. At least the ML song would sound less robotic.

would need an example of this. drake has many (many) styles but i wouldn't describe him as robotic

It is an opinion man. They call it mumble rap for a reason.
