Hi everyone, I decided to write the reasons why i buy spotify due to personal reasons. I am not gonna write the financial analysis part. Imma write base on my experience as a user.
Before marriage I love listening to music on spotify especially when i am travelling. Especially all the music from the 90s in their 9D audio effect. Play that with a good headset, you will feel like you are in a different world. When i am in the gym, I play depending on the workout i am doing. Rock/death metal music when i am doing heavy lifting OR ceo podcasts when i need to jog on the treadmil (fyi, not a huge fan of cardio but needs to be done).
After marriage, my wife and i got a baby boy (yesss). The first thing we did was to play einstein music playlist spotify for the many beneficial reasons you can think of. Then when the baby becomes close to 2 years old, they have their own taste in music. Mine likes baby shark and dinosaur songs (i am sure there are many that can relate to it). Spotify save me countless times whenever i am travelling with my kid in a car ride. The countless crying for attention and entertainment, all i need to do was to play his favourite song playlist and the journey would be smooth (especially when he fall asleep).
Now my kid is above 2 years old, he loves watching television (not very responsible, i know). As young parents, we limit his screentime on tv and only good educational shows that will not rot the brain (Now he is a dinosaur expert). Luckily we did not expose him to ipad. Anyhoo when we limit his screentime, we would change it to him listening to spotify music. We realise overtime that he was learning new words very quickly because he was training his listening skills as oppose. Dont get me wrong, watching tv helps with the visual but he only need to be expose a little bit to it.
Just like any of you who got burnt out from work or family duties (or depress), it helps me a lot when I listen to "Its not over" by daughtry in my car alone when i am driving back or when i park somewhere for just a few minutes. The decompressing moment that i need it and i believe many been just like me too.
For entrepreneurs that need the extra PUSH like myself, I listen to various motivational podcasts, speeches or songs on spotify. I feel that if i dont listen anything on spotify, my day would be bleak.
Fyi, I upgraded my package so that my wife can have her own account too.
So these are my only reasons as to why i still subscribe to spotify. My thanks to spotify for helping me snd my family throughout all these time.
May spotify continue to grow and prosper for years to come.
