Earlier quoted context omitted.

The question is: How's Tidal doing?

Why is that the question? In any case, looks like Tidal has never earned a profit, but was bought by Block for $300M a couple years ago for unknown reasons. I cannot imagine that worked out for Block shareholders. https://www.fool.com/investing/2021/03/08/square-just-bought... > At best, analysts estimate the company has 5% of the music streaming market > it has lost money every year since it started

It's the question because the fact that Spotify has to buy from the three big labels has a friend - the big three labels have to sell to Spotify. Tidal's lack of success tells us that.

'Halt and Catch Fire' (Fictional but good) 'Sillicon Valley' (Fictional and comedy but also good) 'The Playlist' (About Spotify, which isn't failure)

I really loved Halt and Catch Fire. It's among the greatest shows I have watched in any genre. Highly recommend.

Such a great show.
