It's a last-mile thing. Artificially boosts the download numbers which most customers look at.

SIM card removal, antenna destruction, etc. Will only help us until they play the insurance card. Can't afford shooting down the road in two tons of steel without insurance.

So you're going to have towns full of retired old people? Maybe also include their caretakers and maybe service workers supplying everything the caretakers need. Oh, and schools for the caretakers children. And teachers, obviously. And maybe some industry for the caretakers spouses to work at.

Retirees aren't going to keep towns alive. They're just usually among the last to leave.

It's not as easy as absorbing people into rural towns and I suspect you know that.

I suspect that most people don't subscribe to Spotify to listen to white noise but other music. So they might not lose a lot of revenue because white noise is not their core value proposition.

Only of those people subscribed to Spotify to listen to white noise. I suspect it's a side effect...

It's still vastly superior in usability insignificant ways. Easy reproduction, full text search, physical size, etc.
