    That’s funny, I haven’t stolen music in over 10 years thanks to Spotify, but they haven’t split all the music into 20 services or jacked up the price every year.

    Granted they don’t pay the artists, but that’s not my problem.

      And even the “they don’t pay the artist thing” is somewhat defensible in that the record labels take a much larger cut than Spotify.

      They’re the main ones taking the money away from artists.

      By far my main issue with Spotify is for giving massive paycheques to the likes of Joe Rogan

      I lived in a country where spotify wasn’t available, so I never stopped. Now that I’m in a country where it is available, I just don’t want to spend the cash on it, since all these streaming services have me over a barrel.

          Unfortunately the only reason we have streaming services is because of the ease of built-in subtitles that are a pain in the ass to otherwise get (not English).

              Unfortunately any automated translation I’ve seen on various websites is garbage to the target language. I wish it wasn’t. But we’re a long way off from good translation on certain languages.
