I gotta be honest, I actually wasn't that shocked.
But Alex and Gustav were co-presidents.
They're now the co-CEOs, but they were the co-presidents.
And I got the sense that they really were being primed to kind of take over the company eventually.
They're also Swedish.
They've been at the company for many, many years, practically since the inception.
And so them being named co-CEOs also made a lot of sense.
Now, that said, the stock has been down, to your point.
I'm starting to get the sense that maybe just a little bit of investors, you know, skepticism.
They're like, what's going to happen here?
But also, the investors really want to see Spotify raise prices significantly around the world, especially in the U.S.,
Now, Spotify did recently announce that they're going to raise prices in the U.S.
to $13 for a single subscription, but the stock actually dropped that day.
So I'm getting the sense that people legitimately want to see some real price hikes, not just a dollar here and there.
This is the big question.
One thing that I'm watching pretty closely is YouTube premiums price versus Spotify's with this new price hike.
I believe they're about a dollar off from each other for a single plan and YouTube premium gives you ad free videos on YouTube plus YouTube music.
Now,
People love YouTube Premium, and people also do love Spotify.
But I think at a certain point, especially depending on how the economy shakes out and just how much people are really watching their budgets, you could see, especially if they're the same price, maybe you sacrifice some of that Spotify-wrapped magic for the YouTube Music YouTube Premium bundle.
