Daniel Ek founded the company. He got to where he's at by having lots of money. He got that money to found Spotify by being hired into other companies which were acquired. You're describing "Executive Vice Presidents" that were promoted from within.

I'm betting the Reddit posts will be there, but the people who were wrong usually delete there account within a year, in shame as they tend to be wrong about lots of other things. And yep I probably won't be there either.

There you are!!
