Tidal: it is that time of the year again

From Fortune:

Jack Dorsey told staff at music streaming app Tidal that they’re in for another mass layoff.

"So we’re going to part ways with a number of folks on our team,” Dorsey explained in the note. “We’re going to lead with engineering and design, and remove the product management and product marketing functions entirely. We’re reducing the size of our design team and foundational roles supporting TIDAL, and we will consider reducing engineering over the next few weeks as we have more clarity around leadership going forward.”

Dorsey did not provide a number of the amount of people to be affected by the job cuts, but speculation among company insiders is that as many as 100 employees could be laid off, which would amount to roughly a quarter of Tidal’s staff.

Something very wrong there!

The perils of renting music.

Sorry for the staff who are getting laid off. Looks like they are in a lot of trouble.

Before long, the options might just be Apple, Amazon and Spotify. Deep sigh…

As far as I know Qobuz is still a option… I have been using it since it was introduced here in the USA and highly recommend the service.
