Let's discuss facts :
Facts: 1. Spotify makes 1.46$ per ad customer. 12.6$ per paying subscriber. 2. Spotify shares a % of that revenue with the content label in proportion to # of streams of songs.
This means one with higher streams gets higher share of that 12.5%.
This means that move from ad to paid results in an 8x upside. Till will most likely happen over a period of 10-20 years. Add to top & bottomline growth.
Fact:
He mentions receiving share of subscription in addition to the 10 Paisa.
Read for yourself.
Analysis of # of songs & "I don't think anybody listen to Dhoom right now" is misleading. It doesn't matter if anyone listens to dhoom.
Think at an aggregate level. As long as saregama gets same or higher share of all streams it gets paid higher shares of subscription.
Maybe someone is not listening to dhoom. As long as you (the paid subscriber) are listening to same proportion of saregama songs as before (or higher), saregama's share of subscription revenue will be higher.
The stereotypical example here is sahil Sharma. I have youtube premium. I hardly listen to 4 songs a month. But as long as those are saregama's songs, I'm contributing to higher proportion of paid sub revenue going to saregama.
It's the lazy rich paid sub who is the cash cow.
But this is how economics works for all subscriptions.
Amazon loses money in delivery on the head of prime customers.
But more than makes up on those who order 4 times a year.

Recently learned from a @Gautam__Baid sir video ( video on how to generate investment ideas):
something which is common to all achievers is their art of saying no. I have learned the same in my studies. This thread contains a list of ideas I said no to.
Format:
1️⃣ What I liked about that company.
2️⃣ What I did not like about the company.
3️⃣ Why I did not invest in the company.
Other investors can have a different perception about the company & investment & that is okay. Because & repeat after me:
Everyone talks about 10 baggers. I want to talk about a Reverse 20 bagger.
An 'investment' which reduced my capital by 20x.
This is the story of how I 'invested' in Yes Bank & Lost Lakhs of rupees.
🧵🧵👇
1️⃣ How I got hooked
Much before i discovered ValuePickr and screener, I was kind of building a screener of my own, crawling data from websites and using SQL to do the screening part. One of the very first concepts I learned was that of “mean reversion”.
If you buy companies with low P/E multiples, then the P/E multiples mean-revert. Sounds so good in theory, but difficult to implement in practice. One of companies I found this way (screening on my own) was Yes Bank.
Lets discuss how to invest in equity directly, the end to end picture, taking as an example my largest holding: RACL ⚙️ 🖥️

I am not a financial advisor & please don’t treat any of this as financial advice. Also, please dont think of whatever i say here as gospel or the absolute truth. This is only my perception of the truth.
I am not your Guru.
A little bit of framework/paradigm building up-front, please bear with me.
Here is the 1 tweet summary. 1000s of hours of reading, writing & contemplation.
Then, decades of patience. If we get both the steps roughly right, then some 💰💰.
Buffett often gives an example in his interactions of buying 10% of the earnings of a classmate. Which one would you pick?
The crazy thing is that crypto currency now allows us to do that. To Me, that's properly batshit crazy here's why.
Until now, companies could raise debt & equity. Equity raising got easier with size. Larger companies find it easy to raise equity. Individuals had no formal easy to use system to raise equity. Well, now such a system exists.
All work, all value creation, is essentially capital allocation (time+money+passion). I have some internal calculation for what success would look like for me, as a capital allocator 30 years down the line. Based on that future value, I can raise a crazy amount of money today.
