This is exactly it. It seems like every service is raising prices with no noticeable improvement to the service itself. Hell, this would be easier to swallow if Spotify was going to pay artists more. There doesn’t seem to be any benefit to anyone other than Spotify’s bottom line, which I assure you, is doing just fine.
They turned down a 30% increase in both wages AND pension benefits? I’m very curious about what’s in the rest of that contract, because this sounds like it should have been a slam dunk.
Completely agree. I think people are so engrained that they just don’t want to try something else.
That’s exactly it. I saw a lot of people on Twitter today saying they’re only staying the fallout. It’s dumb, and yes, I’m part of the problem, though I’m staying only to update some connections on where I’m going.
It’s so awesome what they’ve accomplished! Very grateful for that!
Thank you. I hope it’s added at some point, would be good to have. Thankfully, Lemmy.world seems to be working a lot better for me today!
That’s a bummer. Hope you can get in soon. It is very similar to Wefwef, as they’re both going for Apollo, so you basically have the gist of it. They both have been getting frequent updates, so I flip flop on which I prefer. It’s been Wefwef until today, but right now, I think Memmy is slightly edging it out.
Thank you for clarifying for me!
I can’t settle on one yet. I alternate between Wefwef and Memmy. Both are very good at bringing the Apollo vibes!
I’m new to all this (Reddit refugee), how do you move to another instance? If you do move, do your comments and whatnot all come with you?
This is slick! I love it!
I’m still there, too, but not nearly as much. If they take old.Reddit away, I’ll be completely done.
In the meantime, Wefwef has been doing right by me. Just wish communities were more active.
Ah okay, thanks for explaining that to me. I didn’t have any context for this, but that makes sense. I hope they’re able to get everything they want.
