    Because spotify is giving out the free plan just to be altruistic. Surely they aren’t harvesting and selling your data/feeding you commercials to pay for that. No siree.

      Some people are born to be doormats.

      In twenty years, “Spotify requires users to perform oral sex on executives to renew premium subscription.” That person, “Hmph! We’re so lucky to get to suck a cock. Why is everyone complaining?!”

      Reminds me of the character in the series Norsemen who loves being a slave and is always finding reasons why it’s good that the Vikings piss in his mouth, or make him eat shit, or cut off a finger.

      Uhh… yeah? Advertising and data selling is how everything free is paid for. No one is making you use it and im sure people aren’t still that blind to the fact.

    Spotify should be happy they get a song for fractions of a cent. Without the artists, they’d be nothing.

    I’m assuming this was sarcasm.

    If not, I must have missed the past where they became a nonprofit…

  Aren’t the lyrics just ripped from somewhere else?

  They’ve got lyrics for some of the obscure shit I listen to, no way they’re paying money for someone to transcribe it.

    I don’t think “ripped” is correct, I think they bought a company who made lyrics

  Acoustic covers only, I guess.
