Jesus christ the people on here are impossible to please !
Yea I think people are just exhausted with what companies are doing and are distrustful of any changes. A lot of tech company changes recently have been somewhere between pointless to very anti-user.
This seems ok, and spotify is one of the services that I continue to pay for and use. It does what I want, and the price has been fairly similar for years. Any new features would be nice.
edit:
To start, we’re offering each Premium individual, as well as plan managers for Family and Duo accounts, 15 hours of listening per month—giving them the ability to enjoy as many titles as they want within that monthly allocation.
Well that’s not amazing. I guess if you find something you like, you can use another service afterwards. What would be bad is if they made some audiobooks exclusive, like they did with podcasts before (partially?) reversing it
Great. More garbage I don’t want shoved in my face.
I’m getting real tired of modern day UX in apps.
I’ve been running modified Spotify IPAs and desktop scripts for years to get around paying premium; here’s to hoping that I can still play these audiobooks!
People on here are acting like Spotify raises their price every two weeks like Netflix or something. This is an added feature that will likely not raise the costs to the user as it is intended to reduce the part of revenue they give to music labels (i.e. this helps keep the price you pay the same because they can’t make a profit, so the alternative is higher prices)
you mean something like this https://newsroom.spotify.com/2023-07-24/adjusting-our-spotify-premium-prices/ ?
Yeah, their first price hike in something like 10 years and it’s a 1$ raise, which is less than inflation.
technically you’re correct, but this depends on the country and/or plan. For example family plan in europe is increased by 3 EUR
