Question from a 10+year last.fm user: how does last.fm stay afloat? I have to assume that the vast majority of users are like me and mostly in it just to have a scrobbling server endpoint. It's been years since last.fm had the radio/streaming components for advertising revenue, and I have no idea what percentage of your userbase pays for the Pro subscription.
Absolutely! https://www.last.fm/dashboard shows shows about 500 scrobbles (track listens) per second, in the "All Time Scrobbles" section of the page.
(Disclaimer: I work at last.fm.)
