I came to Spotify from Google Play when it was sunset, using an online converter to import playlists. My favourite feature has been "Song Radio" - awesome for discovery. Biggest frustration has been when Song Radios, automatically generated and not curated (I assume) disappear without reason. There is no storage cost or overhead to having these. They all came back, but it was an odd thing. Spotify has a long way to go to leverage Network Effects.

What role does VC money play in giving Spotify such long runways to determine if products work or not?
