Man, Spotify were the ones who did it. Like they made the service so significantly better and more convenient than pirating that most of those pirating actually switched.

Not a fan of the platform anymore since the heavy push for sponsored content, removal of audiobooks and the whole Joe Rogan thing, but still credit where it's due.

The built a thing by burning investor money to artificially lower the price and sell out high on stock IPOs is still going strong I see.

And by massively underpaying the actual artists that create the content that fills the platform.

I just noticed yesterday, that existing subscribers can stay at the old price. There's an option to switch to a "basic" plan, afaik you will lose access to audiobooks, but they only give 12h of those per month, for the 2 euros extra.

Thanks, just switched.

I washed my clown makeup off with a home server

Recently done the same and could not believe how easy it was too set up an *arr stack. It's like magic

When I was just a lad looking for my true vocation
My father said "Now son, this choice deserves deliberation...
Though you could be a doctor...

...or perhaps a financier...

My boy, why not consider a more challenging career!"

They mock you for subscribing to an online service. I mock you for subscribing to WoW instead of FFXIV. We are not the same.

(Insert FFXIV free trial meme here)

FFXIV is just a drip pageant. Seems like it’s little else but people standing around role playing fetishes.

And WoW isn't? The big advantage FFXIV has there is dye channels on their armor instead of recolored sets (though WoW is better in the way you collect transmogs without having to actually store the item somewhere). And you've clearly never been to Goldshire or seen the lvl 1 trolls dancing naked on mailboxes in Orgrimmar. WoW is full of people ERPing.

The biggest difference between the two is that WoW doesn't give a damn about the story and each xpac is obsolete when the new one releases, while FFXIV puts the story first with each xpac being a new chapter and keeps content as evergreen as it can. WoW also caters to their endgame raiders above everyone else, while FFXIV claims to put casual players first (though whether or not this is true is hotly debated in the community at any given time).

The internet is over, you guys. We can finally switch off our devices and take a good nap.

Return it to Big Ben when you’re done with it.

[–] DmMacniel@feddit.org 4 points 1 day ago

That's where it has the best reception, right?

[–] Fubarberry@sopuli.xyz 8 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I usually have to listen to a song several times before it fully "clicks" if I like it or not, so music streaming subscription is great for being able to grab any song I think I might like and throw it in trial playlist. Back when I bought/acquired music, I would skip over most music I might like because the effort wasn't worth it for a song I wasn't sure if I liked or not. So streaming has worked really well for me for music discovery at least.

On the bright side, I'm still getting my $8 a month early adopter price for Google music all access (now YouTube music).

I dunno, RJD2's Ghostwriter clicked for me immediately, among others

[–] Feddinat0r@feddit.org 2 points 1 day ago

Yes, thats an awesome song

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

people pay for music? Wow at least give you something for the money, although pricey. others like RS trying to justify thier price increase without substantial increase in content.

Yar what if I told yee have another option

This is why I set up a Funkwhale home server

[–] Rose_Thorne@lemmy.zip 4 points 1 day ago (2 children)

There are other ways. I've only had problems with ReVanced Music once, and there was a fresh set of patches less than a day later.
