Wasn't this technically their exit? Jay-Z bought Tidal...

I wrote an article[1] on what I think Jay Z is planning with Tidal. I do think it's far too early to write it off. Jay Z and the other coowners of Tidal have something that Spotify and co really lack. Domain knowledge.

It might be interesting if there was some cited basis for the speculation about what Tidal might do. Sure, Tidal's owners are insiders, but you've made a giant leap from "they're insiders" to "this is there specific plan".

It would be a huge leap but Jay-Z has specifically said this was his exact plan. To create a platform that eases a musicians journey from recording to streaming and ultimately to money making.
