They raised the price by 1 whole dollar after however many years and y'all are acting like it's the tech apocalypse. This is hardly on the same scale as what Netflix is doing.
There's a reason you're poor.
That reason is wages not keeping up with inflation. Eg, if the US min wage kept up with inflation, it'd be something like $25/h (vs $7.25 federally today). I think you'd be able to afford an extra buck a month for music if you got paid that much more. And that's just inflation. Don't look up tying it to productivity cause that'll just be sad.
Sure, but it ain't because of a dollar extra on spotify.
