      I stuck with Spotify for years because of the student discount. It was like $5 a month + free Hulu with ads. Got grandfathered into for years until I cancelled it last month.

        Yeah I feel that, I ran out of my student plans long ago so now I sail the seas lol.

        I was happy to pay but as we all know prices continue to rise regardless of content holes/droughts/deserts. Maybe the thing you want is on a streaming service you pay for, maybe it was on there last week but no longer, etc etc.

        Fuck you corpos, you’re taking money out of your own pockets!

      Probably no one, as you can pirate anything Netflix produces, use Freetube or Brave to watch youtube ad-free, and spotify is free with ads.

        I would sooner get a tattoo of Ronald Reagan on my ball sack than listen to music with ads. I’m not a barbarian.

      I’m stuck in the Network effect. I only use Spotify because Spotify Connect requires premium and all of my friends use Spotify.

      Otherwise, I’d be using Deezer or getting all my music locally like I used to.
