    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.

                “See how they down vote you.

                Let me try to give a voice to the people down voting.

                I hope that in the future they make a separate subscription model for each of these services.

                $2/month I get the pause feature.

                $5/week I get to control my own volume.

                $4/month I don’t have to loudly shout the brand name of the commercial to go back to my podcast.

                This is how websites keep the lights on and you shouldn’t be so ungrateful. We all know the pursuit of infinite profits means all these companies will continue to find more ways to squeeze customers. So I’ll go down with this ship even though just 5 years ago it was crazy to see a 2 minute unskippable ad but now there’s 3 of them and you’re an asshole for wanting to remove that.

                What would the internet look like if we got rid of how companies advertise to us.

                In the future you should consider what you’re saying before speaking out against enshitificatin and encroachment of mass marketing into our lives. It feeds. It never stops feeding and I am meat.“

                This was your opening statement. Nobody is hot dude and you still have nothing to say about what service is being eroded. You’re popping off with the buzzword of the week and the shit don’t even apply here.

                I’ll ask again, what features are paid users losing with Spotify?
