What do you think the employees do?

I imagine there's a big team dedicated to getting inventory on the service through negotiations with music producers around the world. You'd need to keep them to continue expanding, adding newly produced music, and re-negotiating expiring deals.

There will be a large editorial team producing playlists, curation, tuning the algorithm with expertise, etc. That all needs to be localised and to cover lots of niche music tastes. That's also not evergreen content or work, it needs constant updates to remain relevant.

Then there's international expansion and enabling the tech to work for more countries, more languages, more payment methods, more types of music publishing.

Honestly, where do you get "80%"?
