Netflix lost 200,000 subscribers in the first quarter of the year and 1 million in the second. It also comes as other media streaming services are struggling. This strong 2022 performance comes despite the loss of some 1.5 million Russian subscribers and the rolling controversy surrounding the Joe Rogan podcast. While Spotify might appear to be clawing back subscribers at a tricky time for the industry, it actually reported strong figures for the second quarter of the year, with 188 million paid Premium subscribers representing a rise from 182 million in Q1. This new three month Spotify Premium free trial is valid only until September 11, so don’t expect it to be the new norm.

While this only applies to new subscribers, the company is also offering a three month subscription for the price of one (£9.99) to anyone who cancelled their Spotify Premium subscription before July 15 of this year.

The streaming giant is now offering would-be subscribers three months of a full Spotify Premium membership at no charge. Spotify has increased its free trial from one month to three months in a fresh bid to pull in more subscribers.
