      Perhaps, and this may be a crazy thought, there is some middle ground to be found between a company actively hemorrhaging money and it demanding infinite profit.

      Now, I’m sure you do your job for no pay just out of the goodness of your heart, and that you even put your own money into it because you just love it so much. And that’s very very good of you. But I just don’t think I can really make the same demand of everyone, though I assure you, we all are looking up to you as an example, truly the absolute paragon of morality.

          I been paying for it and I don’t really see how I’m suddenly getting half the product for twice the cost.

          Spotify is a sweet fucking deal for me. I listen to it for like 2500+ hours a year. It’s worth it to pay to not have to listen to ads alone.

          What’s really crazy is how you dudes are quick to call people shills and corporate apologists and all this dumb shit when they just get value for the money. If you don’t like it don’t buy it. If you’re so upset about the free version then use something else. Nobody gives a fuck, we aren’t getting a commission here.

          Music is a fucked industry. You want to support a band you go their shows and buy some merch same as always.

              There is no erosion of services dude. Why are you typing up essays on a premise that is faulty? If you pay for no ads you’re still getting no ads. It sounds like you’re bitching about free services changing which is wild.

              If we all stand together we can bully them into providing top tier free services. That’s what you’re trying to say?

                  Yea twitter you got me.

                  What features are paid users losing with Spotify? If you think you’re entitled to a robust set of features for free then make them and distribute them freely.

                  Or you could keep whining on forums thinking you’re fighting the good fight I guess.
