> Apple and Google don't even need to turn a profit on their platforms, and both of them are hurting Spotify directly by taking 30% of their subscription payments.

I think you mean just Apple there. Spotify on Android has in-app Premium subscriptions using Spotify as the payment provider (at the same price as Premium on the web).

Google doesn’t pay Spotify anything when you do an in app purchase using Spotify’s payment system and charges 4% when you use Google’s payment system.

So that’s not the cause of Spotify’s trouble either
