Spotify to raise prices in September
(lemmy.relayeasy.com)
I have got to admit I canned Spotify subs years ago - but how are they managing to grow their subscriber base whn it is now going to be £11.99 in the UK? That is way, way too high for what it offers...
I've had a grudge against Spotify waaaayyyy back when it first launched as an app on the computer.
For some reason, the Spotify app on my Mac wasted a ton of resources and battery. And it made me so mad I've never used them since.
Then years later they made dumbass Joe Rogan the face of the company so fuck all that.
Two things come to mind, spotify was always a browser based app on mac/linux/windows, I think that was way more inefficient in the early days of doing apps that way. The other thing is that spotify originally used its users' computers as cache to serve other users, that might've caused some additional load.
