Spotify adds video content so it can give even more people no money
As reported by Variety, Spotify has announced that it’s going to be expanding its offerings a little bit by introducing new video content to its existing music-streaming service this week. The explanation for how this will all work is a little vague, but Variety makes several references to users’ “daily media diet” and “the ‘playlist’ of their day,” so that sounds a little like the video stuff will be integrated into the regular music stuff. Spotify has apparently partnered with ESPN, Comedy Central (the article specifically calls out Broad City), NBC, Condé Nast Entertainment, and Vice News. So maybe that means you could be jamming out to some tunes on the playlist of your day, and then a clip from some rad Vice report on doing drugs at a cat cafe will come on to balance out your media diet.
