    Also with an app you just buy it. If the app is like 10 euros that’s pretty fast. But with Spotify you need to listen to streams for hours and hours, it’s fucking slow.

      I’m pretty sure nobody is actually listening to the songs… they would just be playing them in an empty room. Probably with a bunch of devices playing the songs at once.

        I understand, but even than playing a song is much more effort (time consuming) than buying an app. It’s just super inefficiënt.
