Spotify pays more than $100 million to audio, video creators in Q2 of FY'25
The Swedish company generated a revenue of 15.7 billion euros ($17.9 billion) last year.
"For the first time, we're revealing that Spotify paid out more than $100 million to podcast publishers and podcasters worldwide in the first quarter of 2025 alone," the company said in a statement.
"This figure reflects our deep commitment to the creator economy and underscores Spotify's position as a leading platform for audio and video creators alike," it added.
Spotify's payments include "ad-based revenue and revenue generated through the Spotify Partner Program, which launched earlier this year in select markets" and provides content creators with more ways to monetise their content, the streaming giant said.
Spotify first began offering non-music audio and video content on its service in 2015.
It has since accelerated its investment in podcasts in and in 2019 it acquired prominent podcast producer Gimlet Media.
The Swedish platform is due to publish its earnings for the first quarter on Tuesday, having made its first annual net profit, 1.1 billion euros, in 2024.

BMW, Mercedes avoid €4 billion tariffs in EU-US trade reprieve
BMW AG, Mercedes-Benz Group AG and other European automakers are getting a €4 billion ($4.7 billion) earnings lift from the trade deal the European Union struck with the US, according to Bloomberg Intelligence. The trade deal offers a measure of clarity in a key market for Mercedes, BMW, Porsche AG and Volvo Car AB. European auto stocks rose on Monday over news that the rate on car imports from the EU would be lowered to 15% from 27.5%. BMW and Mercedes are also benefiting from tariff exemptions for about 185,000 cars they export annually from their American factories, BI analyst Michael Dean said in a note. The trade deal offers a measure of clarity in a key market for Mercedes, BMW, Porsche AG and Volvo Car AB. Since Trump imposed the tariffs in April, automakers have warned of billions of dollars in added costs and supply-chain complexity, with several of them scrapping or lowering financial forecasts for the year. 'It's the best result out of what was looking like a bad situation,' auto analyst Matthias Schmidt said in comments late Sunday. 'I think German and Swedish CEOs will be sleeping more soundly tonight than they have in recent weeks.' Still, the new rate is significantly higher than the 2.5% duty in place before Trump made his trade moves, and it forces companies to weigh whether to raise prices or move more production to the US. Germany's VCI chemical-industry association — which includes manufacturers such as BASF SE that supply carmakers — warned that the new tariffs still hurt Europe's industry. 'If you're bracing for a hurricane, you're grateful for a storm,' VCI President Wolfgang Große Entrup said in a statement. 'Nevertheless, the agreed tariffs are too high. Europe's exports are losing competitiveness.'

Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7 review: A mainstream-ready flip-style foldable?
The Galaxy Z Flip 7 refines the flip form factor with bigger screens and better software, but heating issues and weak battery hold it back The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7 is the company's latest effort to perfect the flip phone form factor. It arrives with a more refined design, larger cover screen, smarter software, and the decision to use Samsung's own Exynos 2500 chip. On paper, these updates seem aimed at making the Flip 7 a more mainstream-ready foldable. But do they all come together to justify the over Rs one-lakh plus price tag? After two weeks of daily use, here's what I found. Design Samsung has not overhauled the design, but the Flip 7 is the most polished version of the lineup so far. Compared to the Flip 6, it is marginally wider and thinner, with the flatter silhouette making it easier to pocket. It weighs just over 188 grams, and the hinge folds completely flat, eliminating the earlier gap. The big design win is the nearly crease-free inner display. It is still visible under certain angles, but you can scroll past it without noticing much. The aluminium frame lends a premium feel. The IP48 rating means it is technically protected from dust and splashes, though I would recommend you not to test its durability. The physical buttons feel clicky, but the placement can be disorienting, especially when the phone is folded. More than once, I found myself hitting volume buttons when I meant to unlock the phone. The fingerprint scanner embedded in the power button is quick but occasionally misses the first try. Samsung sells it in Jet Black, Coral Red, and Blue Shadow. Our unit, in the subdued Blue Shadow, looked elegant and did not pick up too many smudges. Displays The cover display has grown to 4.1-inch with a 120Hz refresh rate and little bezels. It offers ample brightness to make it comfortable to use even in harsh sunlight conditions.. Samsung has kept things minimal with widgets, however, due to the wider FlexWindow, I was able to accommodate four widgets on the cover screen. Being able to switch songs in Spotify and adjust the seek without having to open the main display adds to convenience. The inner display has expanded to 6.9-inch, with a similar brightness level and adaptive 120Hz refresh rate. It is excellent for content consumption and social media scrolling. The AMOLED panel delivers rich contrast, sharp and vibrant colours. That said, it is still a reflective surface – bright indoor lighting or direct sun can introduce some glare. You will not get the ultra-wide cinematic experience of a Fold, but for a flip phone, these are among the best displays you can get. Cameras The Flip 7 inherits a dual-camera setup from its predecessor, featuring a 50MP main camera and a 12MP ultra-wide camera. During the day, the main camera delivers impressive results. Photos are detailed, colour reproduction is accurate, and exposure control is mostly on point. Samsung's ProVisual Engine seems to improve post-processing by making the final output clearer and refined. Even digital zoom up to 4x remains usable, although anything beyond that loses clarity. The ultra-wide camera was not that impressive. The output was not consistent. Moreover, the habit of softening edges and introducing noise in low light is something that the ultra-wide camera does quite often. Where the Flip 7 falters is after sunset. Indoor shots can be hit or miss, and the lack of a dedicated telephoto lens limits flexibility. Low-light shots often look smeared, especially with moving subjects. Selfies taken using the cover display and main camera look great: easily among some of the best in recent times, but again, only in well-lit conditions. Low lighting makes it tough for the camera to give an output that one would like. The 10MP main display camera feels like an afterthought. It struggles in medium to low light and produces washed-out colours. For video calls, it gets the job done. Just do not expect Instagram-worthy selfies. Software and AI The Flip 7 runs One UI 8 based on Android 16. Samsung has tailored the software well for the folding form factor. Multitasking is smooth with split-screen and pop-up windows, and Flex Mode (using the phone half-folded like a mini laptop) still feels cool. Galaxy AI is sprinkled across the UI – photo erasers, writing assistants, transcription tools, and the new Now Brief that gives you a daily summary. Some features, like Circle to Search, feel genuinely helpful. Others, like Drawing Assist or Audio Eraser, feel like they're looking for a use case. Gemini Live integration is neat but limited by the cover screen's app restrictions. Overall, it's a well-rounded software experience but not radically different from Samsung's premium slab phones. Performance Here's where the Flip 7 shows its cracks. Samsung ditched Qualcomm in favour of its own Exynos 2500 chip. The processor is paired with 12GB RAM, but it clearly struggles with thermal management. Even basic tasks like watching YouTube or navigating Maps caused the phone to heat up noticeably, especially around the camera module. During a particularly long video call, I had to switch to my laptop because the phone became uncomfortably warm. Gaming performance is acceptable but not ideal. Frame rates held steady in lighter games, but BGMI, Asphalt 9, and Call of Duty triggered thermal throttling within minutes. For a phone at this price, that is a highly disappointing compromise. That said, day-to-day performance in tasks like messaging, app switching, and social media was fine. But if you push it, you will feel the heat. Battery Despite its slimmer build, Samsung managed to fit a 4,300mAh battery in the Flip 7. But real-world stamina is underwhelming. On a typical workday involving email, calls, Spotify, some YouTube, Instagram, and light photography, the phone was in need of a recharge in around 12 hours. If used continuously, the smartphone would last for around six hours. Streaming a full-length movie on Netflix drained 40 per cent of the battery. With heavier use, especially involving videography or using maps for long hours, you will likely need a top-up before evening. Charging speed is another pain point. A full charge takes close to two hours. Verdict The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7 is remarkable in the Flip category. The design is sleeker, the cover display is functional and better than what was seen in the previous generation, and daytime camera performance is noticeable. On the software front, the One UI 8 understands the task well, and Galaxy AI features bring a few genuinely helpful tricks. But some fundamental problems remain. The Exynos 2500 chip has thermal issues that impact even basic usage. Battery life is disappointing. And while the cameras work well in daylight, they fall short at night. At Rs 109,999, this is a luxury device. If you are in it for the aesthetics and novelty of flipping your phone to hang up a call, you will love it. But if you're seeking performance, battery reliability, or low-light camera magic, this is not the foldable for you. Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7: Hands-on

CEOs Trumpet Smaller Workforces as a Sign of Corporate Health
Big companies are getting smaller—and their CEOs want everyone to know it. The careful, coded corporate language executives once used in describing staff cuts is giving way to blunt boasts about ever-shrinking workforces. Gone are the days when trimming head count signaled retrenchment or trouble. Bosses are showing off to Wall Street that they are embracing artificial intelligence and serious about becoming lean. After all, it is no easy feat to cut head count for 20 consecutive quarters, an accomplishment Wells Fargo's chief executive officer touted this month. The bank is using attrition 'as our friend,' Charlie Scharf said on the bank's quarterly earnings call as he told investors that its head count had fallen every quarter over the past five years—by a total of 23% over the period. Loomis, the Swedish cash-handling company, said it is managing to grow while reducing the number of employees, while Union Pacific, the rail operator, said its labor productivity had reached a record quarterly high as its staff size shrank by 3%. Last week Verizon's CEO told investors that the company had been 'very, very good' on head count. Translation? 'It's going down all the time,' Verizon's Hans Vestberg said. The shift reflects a cooling labor market, in which bosses are gaining an ever-stronger upper hand, and a new mindset on how best to run a company. Pointing to startups that command millions in revenue with only a handful of employees, many executives see large workforces as an impediment, not an asset, according to management specialists. Some are taking their cues from companies such as which recently told staff that AI would likely lead to a smaller workforce. Wells Fargo Chief Executive Charlie Scharf said recently that the company had shrunk, in part, by using attrition 'as our friend.' Now there is almost a 'moral neutrality' to head-count reductions, said Zack Mukewa, head of capital markets and strategic advisory at the communications firm Sloane & Co. 'Being honest about cost and head count isn't just allowed—it's rewarded' by investors, Mukewa said. Companies are used to discussing cuts, even human ones, in dollars-and-cents terms with investors. What is different is how more corporate bosses are recasting the head-count reductions as accomplishments that position their businesses for change, he said. 'It's a powerful kind of reframing device,' Mukewa said. Leaving roles unfilled Large-scale layoffs aren't the main way companies are slimming down. More are slowing hiring, combining jobs or keeping positions unfilled when staffers leave. The end result remains a smaller workforce. Bank of America CEO Brian Moynihan reminded investors this month that the company's head count had fallen significantly under his tenure. He became chief executive in 2010, and the bank has steadily rolled out more technology throughout its functions. 'Over the last 15 years or so, we went from 300,000 people to 212,000 people,' Moynihan said, adding, 'We just got to keep working that down.' Bank of America has slimmed down by selling some businesses, digitizing processes and holding off on replacing some people when they quit over the years. AI will now allow the bank to change how it operates, Moynihan said. Employees in the company's wealth-management division are using AI to search and summarize information for clients, while 17,000 programmers within the company are now using AI-coding technology. One chat-based AI product is helping 750 employees reconcile trades. In the process, Moynihan said, the bank expects the technology will allow it to hire fewer full-time staff in that area or deploy head count elsewhere. Overall, Bank of America's staff size has fallen by 1,500 people since the beginning of the year, excluding summer interns. The company plans to bring on 2,000 early career employees later this year. When managing costs, 'It always starts with us with head-count discipline,' Alastair Borthwick, Bank of America's chief financial officer, told investors this month. In industries where AI is taking on white-collar corporate functions, there is often little unionization, and employees might feel powerless to push back, said Molly Kinder, a senior fellow at the Brookings Institution who is studying AI's effects on workers. She has been struck by how little public criticism companies have received when executives telegraph AI-related staffing reductions. 'I'm worried it's happening in plain sight with no blowback, no pushback, and it's going to become the norm,' she said. 'I don't think that's good news for the American worker.' Some employers seem almost to take pride in announcing efforts to increase revenue or profits while cutting staff or keeping head count flat. 'Something feels remarkably different about this moment,' she said. 'Very happy with that' Fast-rising companies are at the forefront of figuring out how to do more with less. Garry Tan, chief executive of Y Combinator, the Silicon Valley startup accelerator, said this spring that the biggest change he sees in the startup ecosystem now is how effective companies can be with hardly any employees, using AI to grow. 'They can go from really zero to $10 million a year in revenue, sometimes in the course of less than 12 months, and they can do it with less than 10 people,' Tan said on a podcast. 'It's really sort of astonishing.' Verizon CEO Hans Vestberg rang the New York Stock Exchange's opening bell in June. Managers might face the heaviest toll. Intel CEO Lip-Bu Tan said Thursday that the company planned to lay off 15% of its staff, and cut layers of middle management, to help reverse its fortunes after falling behind such rivals as Nvidia. 'We need to rightsize and scale back the company,' Tan said. Some leaders acknowledge the human cost of such layoffs. Microsoft announced this month plans to cut another 9,000 workers, bringing its job cuts to 15,000 in the past two months. In a memo to staff on Thursday, Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella said the layoffs had weighed on him as the company reorients its business to AI. 'This is the enigma of success in an industry that has no franchise value,' Nadella wrote. 'Progress isn't linear. It's dynamic, sometimes dissonant, and always demanding.' Some reductions might have little to do with adoption of the technology and more with executives' desire to please investors. Efforts to reduce head count or restrain hiring show that an executive has a willingness to make tough calls, Sloane's Mukewa said. Companies such as Verizon are letting investors know they are pleased too. The company's head count is down roughly 4% from a year earlier, the telecommunication giant told investors last week. 'We have been very efficient on managing our resources,' Vestberg, the CEO, said. 'So, very happy with that.' Write to Chip Cutter at CEOs Trumpet Smaller Workforces as a Sign of Corporate Health
