I opened Spotify this morning to be greeted by a modal popup with a “sponsored recommendation”.

Why am I seeing ads if I’m already paying for the premium plan!? 😑

        You don’t have to carry it all at once, swap playlists around. Carry 300-500 songs at a time, more than enough to really appreciate each song rather than bebombarded with choices

          That’s cool, and I would pay a small fee for the convenience of not having to carry all that around

      They treat your subscription as a promise of continued business. You’re literally funding them trying to continue monetizing you and dominating your attention.

      Fuck Spotify, fuck Netflix, fuck all of them.

            I know I can do that.

            Have you heard about sarcasm? That’s what I was doing.

                Nah, I just like to brag about how the file is uselessly bigger

                  Look, they ask me at the audio store how I listen to my music when I ordered two amps to try out, just to make sure I don’t just use Spotify.

                  So I guess it’s never out of question that people consider WAVs a completely different sound qualities.

        You can download lossless with Apple Music and listen to it with no data connection.

          Yes, but I want the files themselves, so I can back them up and not worrying about losing them in the future.
