Is a lobotomy needed to become a lobbyist?
1.) Article claims w/o any kind of source/data, that people cannot afford subscriptions 2.) Article warns that the big services have to raise their prices soon, because of losses made by piracy, which according to 1.) is caused by people not having enough money for the subscriptions
The article doesn't mention the shareholders, which get billions of wins by milking the subscribers stupid enough to sign up for the bullshit. ... oh, but the article mentions the poor artists/working people, which loose money because of online piracy. I almost forgot about the recent strikes, because the people actually producing the content don't get shit from the companies/shareholders.
Seriously, I'll cancel my last subscription right now, because I am feed up giving my money to shareholders, companies and lobbies who buy politicians and laws.
Seriously... This told me all I needed to know about how objective this article was going to be. Stopped reading right there.
Absolutely. Spotify doesn't exactly pay artists very well. It's better than nothing, but Spotify is wealthier than the vast majority of artists it profits from.

Wiki page for them. Pretty sure all you need to read is the warnings at the top of the page to know all you need about who they are.
They really should make those warnings expanded by default on mobile. And the last one should be first.
A garbage provider since the 90s.
