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 ยฃ11.99 in the UK? That is way, way too high for what it offers...

What pisses me off is that I can't have a family plaln associated with my main Google Workspace account. Because it's a Workspace account. So if I want to have a family plan for YouTube Music I need to have it associated with a gmail account not my workspace account. That's such bullshit, if you ask me!

Bandcamp is not banned in the UK yet. But i think the government has strong intelligence that they are a terrorist organisation.

I've had a grudge against Spotify waaaayyyy back when it first launched as an app on the computer.

For some reason, the Spotify app on my Mac wasted a ton of resources and battery. And it made me so mad I've never used them since.

Then years later they made dumbass Joe Rogan the face of the company so fuck all that.

gotta give even more money to joe fuckhead - bet absolutely none of this will improve artist payouts..

And yet, despite the subscription price or its raise, Spotify still insists on forcing promoted content on your homepage.

I can't even imagine paying for it to begin with.

I bought one of those $5 for the entire year accounts off some shady website.

It lasted for 5 years.

I use Bandcamp when I want to buy and YouTube with ad blocker for streaming.
