If labels and artists begin to believe that previewing music on any other platform — be it Pitchfork , a local radio show, or a competing streaming service — will result in punishment from Apple Music or Spotify, they will get cold feet when it comes to any such pre-promotion.

These deals are good for the artists — Chance was paid half a million for a fortnight of exclusively — but terrible for fans, who found themselves having to subscribe to three different streaming services just to keep up. Likewise, Netflix and Stan compete based solely on exclusive deals. Viewers are trained to expect television companies to compete with each other — from free-to-air to streaming, this has always been the way.

But music seems different, somehow. It belongs to everyone. And nobody is going to put up with streaming services that offer up every third new release, bouncing angrily between apps as they try to work out where they can listen to the new Childish Gambino record. They will just give up, and the foothold that Spotify, Apple Music have gained over the past five years will be lost — to piracy, to YouTube, to any easier option that presents itself.

And if Spotify and Apple Music continue their game of mutually assured destruction, blacklisting artists, scrapping for exclusives, and trying to wipe out blogs and radio while they are at all, a better option will jump in and fill the gap. It always does. Music is valuable, but time is a non-renewable resource.
