Comment on Spotify doesn't make profit from music streaming, despite having over 400M monthly active users, because it pays two-thirds of all its revenue to the rights holders.

  When’s the last time you heard of anyone buying an individual song / album on iTunes?

  I’m yet to hear a first time, and I remember when mp3s first became a thing.

      Genuinely, never. It wasn’t that popular in my country.

  I still buy music on iTunes. I prefer having my collection available on CD, but if I only want a single track or two, I just go to iTunes and buy the songs. This year, I think I bought 4 songs. It isn’t ton, but it is still in my mind.
