I fail to see how these companies will ever turn a profit. I can't imagine their market growing exponentially bigger than it already is.

I'm an entrepreneur in the non tech domain, and profitability is the first thing we look for, not the last. Somehow, tech companies manage to survive for years without making any profits, which is weird t me

They only have 15m paying customers, so if it was a matter of scaling there is a long way to go. Of course they may not be profitable at any scale due to the pricing model of the labels, but thats a different matter.
