I want to see how they got the 200 million back and as they have to lay off 17% of there people it looks like a stupid decision in the end.

It's a ridiculous amount of money for that content.

But looking back at those days where all platform embraced a strategy to "own ALL content", I doubt that the 2nd-best offer was significantly less.

After all, they also paid him to NOT make any further money with the podcast on YouTube or other platforms...

I don’t understand how that could have ever been a strategy without buying the businesses that own most of the popular music, such as Warner, Universal, and Sony.
