Netflix beats expectations on profit and subscribers

Netflix reported strong earnings, with a profit of $2.3 billion and gaining 9.3 million subscribers in the last quarter. The company's heavy investment in content paid off as it converted free users to paid subscribers, thanks to a crackdown on password sharing. However, Netflix shares dipped over 4% in after-market trading as sales in the current quarter may be lower than expected.

Spotify’s new audiobook tier will only save you a dollar over Premium

Spotify has introduced a new subscription tier aimed at book lovers, offering 15 free listening hours of audiobooks for $9.99 per month. However, compared to the classic Premium plan, which costs $10.99, the audiobook plan provides fewer benefits. Premium subscribers not only get the same number of audiobook hours but also enjoy ad-free music and podcasts. Moreover, the new tier does not offer any additional perks for readers and has a cap on listening limits. This move by Spotify has sparked controversy in the publishing industry, particularly surrounding compensation for authors.
