There's also Spotify family. I'm paying 15 USD for 5 (extended) family members. Dirt cheap. Discover weekly is amazing. Wish for the best for Spotify.

Very interesting. Can you give me some pointers on what kind of partnerships they have?

Every Starbucks barista (who's worked at Starbucks for some number of months) receives a free Spotify subscription, for example.

Here in Australia, Vodafone (a mobile carrier) have been bundling Spotify Premium with their contracts, for example: https://www.whistleout.com.au/MobilePhones/News/Vodafone-rev...
Interestingly Apple did a similar thing with Telstra (the largest, formerly state owned carrier), with a year free on 1 year contracts.
That has now become more of a free trial sort of deal though: https://www.telstra.com.au/applemusic

NYTimes All Access subscription ($5/week) includes a free year of Spotify premium.

The most recent one I heard was a partnership with the New York Times, which seems like an odd partnership to me:

Here in the Philippines the major providers bundle Spotify with data plans. Also, a family subscription here is a fraction of what it was back home in the US (~P159 vs ~$10+)

In New Zealand, Spark (our largest telco, the ex-state monopoly) offers free Spotify with their mobile plans.
A good chunk of those 50m aren't paying $10/mo; they've expanded their partnerships (in part) to inflate that number.
