Getting this person converted is considered a success.

I’ve got 2 assumptions.Īssumption 1: The strategy is to focus on who’s more likely to stay, invest, and pay more. #2 A Mix so intelligent that brings up Streams, Likes, Artists Follows, and Retention of paid usersĬoming back to the suspicious unbalanced track % distribution, I doubt the mix was ever designed to be fifty-fifty. The curiosity, the longing, and the fear of missing out got me so hooked on this Blend that expires every 24 hours. And if I did go through the whole list very quickly, then it’s a 20+ hours wait till I see its new face the next day. If I didn’t go through the whole playlist one day, I knew it’d be gone forever and I’d never know what was there. I’d kill to see our Blend.Īnd guess what, because the mysterious mixing logic behind, everyday I wake up thinking about what tracks our Blend is bringing to me today. I admire her taste of music (she’d say me too) and already have a handful of her songs living in my Liked. Then a month ago I was FaceTime with someone, I had this random idea and asked her “hey do you want to do a Blend with me?”. I’ve tried Blend before with a couple of friends, didn’t work out. I started doubting the faith I always had for Music.īlend was my getaway island. And now I’m sitting on my couch watching the show, with my phone in my palm screaming what is happening in this world.

I always loved music, worked in the music industry (for a tiny bit), obsessed with the idea of working in a cool music tech company once. It’s been mixed feelings that, in one dimension of the world, Netflix is feeding us dreams with shows like The Playlist, inspiring us entrepreneurs who still have hope, while in another dimension, tech companies are (finally) shifting from enlarging their user base and market to actually profiting.
