Spotify is reliant on copyright exclusions to keep competing free services at bay. So aren’t really providing any value.
YouTube is still reliant on ads, and ad-funded content creators, and will continue serving you manipulative content wether you pay or not. So can’t really count that as a success either.
The thing is when you remove the ugly side of those business what remains can bee done better for free using p2p networks or federation over open protocols.
