I have got to admit I canned Spotify subs years ago - but how are they managing to grow their subscriber base whn it is now going to be £11.99 in the UK? That is way, way too high for what it offers…
Let’s say it together: Enshittification
It’s been long underway for Spotify; raising prices is just the lastest step.

You guys are paying for Spotify?

I guess some people are, as long as it’s a good balance of convenience and price. Ages ago, Napster, Kazaa and DC++ were considered more convenient than buying music. I guess torrents are used for that these days.

One of the 2000s P2P networks still exists today, and still has a pretty decent-sized community using it: Soulseek. It was released a month after KaZaA.

I work a desk job. I can put pirated music on my work computer or ill get fired. Only real option is a pay service.

What bubble?

Their strategy has been for years to make the phone app very constrained if you’re not paying, so to have any decent experience that was kinda required.

I don’t no. But as they keep removing features from the free account, and here in the UK you at least need an account now to play anything people do
