> Apple and Amazon will eventually eat Spotify given enough time, if they don't find a moat to be built

I doubt it.

Apple is restricted to Apple devices. As for Amazon, the same argument could be made about Prime Video eating Netflix, and that never seemed to happen.

On top of that, as far as I know, Spotify is profitable.



Apple Music is not restricted to Apple devices afaik: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.apple.andr...


Oh wow, I didn't know that.

I still wouldn't use it, but I am surprised that I never knew of this.


You can listen to apple music even via web interface and it has an android app and works on android tv and android auto.

So pretty much everywhere.


Can't listen natively on my lametric time!


Spotify had one profitable quarter by fluke. It's not profitable.
