Comment on Tidal’s subscription is getting simpler and cheaper — yes, you read that right

This is just an ad read.
Article specifically calls how they’re axing military and first responder discounts, how you still get upcharged for HiFi if you use their DJ Integration feature, and how they’re nixing the free tier.
The article is not an advertisement; it contains some good news for consumers and some bad news for consumers. The notable bit is the good news, hence it’s the headline. And it’s notable exactly because it’s good news — most everyone else is raising prices across the board.
You don’t know the Verge, perhaps
This is just a good news and they are reporting it as such
I am too familiar with this gaudy website and its concept of journalism.
Ok. So journalistically, the key points to get across here are:
How would you have reported the news? Would you have done something differently?
I would not have reported this advertisement as news. The thing I would have done differently is not be a shill.
This guy is fun at parties
Do you have anything to add that isn’t merely insulting? Like, a thought. Do you have any thoughts to share? Inside of your head. do you have any
I initially upvoted this comment, but since every other comment you’ve made is weird and combative, you’ve somehow made me stop agreeing with you. It’s an odd feeling.

Some of y’all just like basking in depression and misery. Upset when prices go up, upset when a company lowers prices.
Tidal is generally very highly regarded among those who seeking a music streaming service that’s higher quality and pays out to artists.
Considering this was written by a reviewer, a person paid to give opinions…

I’m not upset at prices changing, don’t put words in my mouth. I’m disappointed to see an ad here. Fuck this person’s paid opinions. I don’t care about tidal, I care about not being advertised to.

The Verge is a site focusing on tech products and services.
I cannot believe anyone would find it surprising that they talk about tech products and services.

This is the second time you’ve put words in my mouth to derogate my opinion. I never described myself as surprised, and I can imagine you’re struggling to believe that I am because it isn’t true.
The verge is an advertisment bureau doing what they do, and I’m not surprised to find them shilling, I’m disappointed to find you (and so many others) actively supporting- no, insisting on being advertised to.

Seems like you’re asserting that the article is sponsored content without being disclosed, in violation of FTC guidelines. Seems like a pretty serious claim that borders on libel. Do you have any proof of your allegations?

I use Tidal and love it for HiFi playback. They’re kinda like Criterian for music and take the time to capture high bitrate archival masters. It’s pretty cool.
