    Are people really unsubbing over a dollar a month? Seems kinda insignificant if you’re actually using the service.

      The people that do we’re already considering it. Each hike you reevaluate if you actually need the service and at some point you drop it.

      Nah, but people on the internet love to pretend. I just hope this price hike benefits the artists at least somewhat.

      I’d complain, except it hasn’t gone up in a decade.

      Prices needs to go up a little bit every year to reflect CPI and inflation.

        Yeah that’s where I’m at. This isn’t a Netflix situation, Spotify is still a good deal. Hell, the music streaming market is pretty competitive right now especially compared with movies/shows

          Mainly because of the lack of exclusivity.

          UMG once talked about making their own streaming service but fortunately that didn’t happen and things have stayed open with good catalogues on all services.
