    Aren’t the lyrics just ripped from somewhere else?

    They’ve got lyrics for some of the obscure shit I listen to, no way they’re paying money for someone to transcribe it.

      Because spotify is giving out the free plan solely to be altruistic. Surely they aren’t harvesting and selling your data/feeding you commercials to pay for that. No siree.

        Some people are born to be doormats.

        In twenty years, “Spotify requires users to perform oral sex on executives to renew premium subscription.” That person, “Hmph! We’re so lucky to get to suck a cock. Why is everyone complaining?!”

        Reminds me of the character in the series Norsemen who loves being a slave and is always finding reasons why it’s good that the Vikings piss in his mouth, or make him eat shit, or cut off parts of his body for amusement.

        Uhh… yeah? Advertising and data selling is how everything free is paid for. No one is making you use it and im sure people aren’t still that blind to the fact.

          So what is greedy about someone complaining that a service they pay for (with data/ads) is offering less features without lowering the price (less adds/tracking)?

            Different issue - my argument is on those expecting a free service not to sell your data you provide.

            Another version if shrinkflation is a whole other argument.

      Spotify should be happy they get a song for fractions of a cent. Without the artists, they’d be nothing.

      I’m assuming this was sarcasm.

      If not, I must have missed the part where they became a nonprofit…
