This is just an ad read.
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?
Not.
It's not news.
Yes, it is. It may not be interesting to you, but it is (as others said) noteworthy when a company bucks the trend of the industry.
This type of story is business journalism
it's not world news or politics, but it's still news. And the article isn't as rosy as the headline
they are still upcharging for the HiFi service if you used the DJ Integration feature (no idea what this is, I don't use Tidal), and they're axing military and first responder discounts.
for when you want to legitimize your advertising
Nothing can make it news.
There is no presentation that can turn an article about a price drop into anything but an ad.
imagine i am hitting you with a newspaper
What about a price hike? If Netflix or Spotify increased their prices, would that be news?
Yes because things are only allowed to ever be bad.
I would not have reported this advertisement as news. The thing I would have done differently is not be a shill.
So you're talking out of your ass. Got it
Funny, I feel the same way.
Hey, at least we agree on something lol
That's a start.
You also feel like you're talking out of your ass?
