yes but spotify is also europes only afaik unicorn and that needed some serious cash (many people forget but i was hearing how streaming doesn’t work and spotify hasn’t been profitable ever for like 15 years!! right up until last year and now it’s a big evil megacorp, how quickly the story can change) europe doesn’t have its unified market setup yet so america is where you have to go
this isn’t a failure of spotify, it’s a failure of the EU which tbf is something they’ve working on
