Comment on Spotify re-invented the radio

  Why are you typing up essays on a premise that is faulty?

  If you read more than twitter posts this wouldn’t come off like an essay. But I keep this short for you.

  You complain about faulty premises and but start your whole premise on something factually wrong.

  Erosion of features and services is so common it even has its own well known name, enshitification.

  Yea bully them better known as the market. How its suppose to be designed to work.

    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.

      You played yourself coming all hot over having to read.

      You didn’t read the post you’re on either.

      I do contribute to projects when I can. Helping with open source is a fun hobby and does help fight against a lot of this.

      What are you doing other than whining about having to read as if anyone forced you and adding practically nothing to a conversation you had no idea about before jumping in.

        “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?
