I think corporate greed is the great plague of our age. Every issue we face with regards to limited resources, limited housing, limited representation in government can all be traced back to it.

Having said that, I have no problem with this price increase. I play cover songs for a living, and my job would be exponentially more difficult without Spotify. Hell, I’d pay $30 a month if that’s what they charged. Over a year, an extra $1 a month figures out to… the same amount I spend on coffee in three days. So have at it guys.
