If you read more than twitter posts this wouldn't come off like an essay. But I keep this short for you.
You complain about faulty premises and but start your whole premise on something factually wrong.
Erosion of features and services is so common it even has its own well known name, enshitification.
Yea bully them better known as the market. How its suppose to be designed to work.
Yea twitter you got me.
What features are paid users losing with Spotify? If you think you’re entitled to a robust set of features for free then make them and distribute them freely.
Or you could keep whining on forums thinking you’re fighting the good fight I guess.
You played yourself coming all hot over having to read.
You didn't read the post you're on either.
I do contribute to projects when I can. Helping with open source is a fun hobby and does help fight against a lot of this.
What are you doing other than whining about having to read as if anyone forced you and adding practically nothing to a conversation you had no idea about before jumping in.
“See how they down vote you.
Let me try to give a voice to the people down voting.
I hope that in the future they make a separate subscription model for each of these services.
$2/month I get the pause feature.
$5/week I get to control my own volume.
$4/month I don't have to loudly shout the brand name of the commercial to go back to my podcast.
This is how websites keep the lights on and you shouldn't be so ungrateful. We all know the pursuit of infinite profits means all these companies will continue to find more ways to squeeze customers. So I'll go down with this ship even though just 5 years ago it was crazy to see a 2 minute unskippable ad but now there's 3 of them and you're an asshole for wanting to remove that.
What would the internet look like if we got rid of how companies advertise to us.
In the future you should consider what you're saying before speaking out against enshitificatin and encroachment of mass marketing into our lives. It feeds. It never stops feeding and I am meat.“
This was your opening statement. Nobody is hot dude and you still have nothing to say about what service is being eroded. You’re popping off with the buzzword of the week and the shit don’t even apply here.
I’ll ask again, what features are paid users losing with Spotify?
Why would I care to do that. You're on a post showing features being removed.
Aka “I’m just bitching about not getting everything I want for free.”
Fucking clown shit. Start out complaining you can't read. Finishes up by imagining easier arguments hoping you got a shot at those.
how you acting like you're holier than bitching online about stuff 🤣
Nothing is free. Meta, one of the biggest companies online shows this. They're making money off you every minute.
Internet was made to share things between people. Not to have it all locked behind subscriptions and paywalls. Its forcing information scarcity needlessly for companies. The internet should not be a place for anyone looking to reduce access to information or who lock its features away.
So you still can’t point to the erosion of services for the paid Spotify?
No I can but I'm not going to. Its not critical to anything I have argued so far.
As I've already said the original post is all that's needed.
You mentioned that you struggled with reading and it's showing.
So you can’t even defend your bullshit and you still want to try to talk down to people.
Dude, lol read ffs
Read the screenshot? Is that what you mean wise old sage of the internet?
Figure it out shinobi
But I’m so stupid and you’re so smart. Can’t you help the ignorant reach enlightenment?
You did start out complaining about reading.
You didn't have prior knowledge before jumping in
Instead of engaging thoughtfully/respectfully with something you figured you knew everything and responded with sassy bullshit like "you don't need an essay"
You took something you originally complained was an essay and made erroneous simplification to argue, still with foot in mouth.
You didn't fully read what was said by asking me to prove a premise that wasn't ever stated demanding I prove something to you that you misread.
I haven't called you stupid but the way you're engaging things here is
Dickhead your opening comment was calling people meat for the machine. Pull your head out of your ass.
LoL what are you talking about now. Is this a new issue or what.
