In their quest to make streaming profitable, media companies have turned to tactics such as password-sharing crackdowns, advertising, and subscription price hikes. So far this summer, Max and Peacock have raised prices – and on the music front, so has Spotify. This comes after a wave of streamers increased their prices last fall, including Netflix, Disney+, and Apple TV+.
