Of course this is true. But I don’t think corporations die that way. More likely they will keep going with this culture, firing more/getting fewer employees, their product will get shittier and shitter, and more competition will fill the gaps, until they fight with one for the monopoly.

All this somewhere near the unsuspecting pirates 😅

I use YouTube too. But I’m not satisfied with the recommendation system - at all.

That’s cool, I’m on Android and PC. But I don’t think I’ll go that way. I want to let Spotify die after these more than red flags.

Oh, I wasn’t aware of that.

For the last couple of years I’ve been “flirting” with Spotify. It would offer me 3 months of premium for the price of one, I would take it and cancel immediately so I don’t forget.

Then lived the happy pirate life for six months or so, and Spotify would come in with the offer. Last time the price was higher but I said what the hell…

Now with this post I was about to uninstall, but I read some comments about services that transfer your playlists, so first things first :))

Robots.txt is a compliance standard afaik, more like an advisory guide. It cannot enforce bans on scrapers, it sets some polite boundaries for the website.

At my old house, mine was NeverGonnaGiveYouUp. Nobody continued it for all the five years I was there, as far as I could tell :(

Or after the extras.

Definitely more. A lurker too. Idk, I feel like I’m less afraid of being judged here.

Interestingly, the Romans called the Greeks Grekili , a degrading term, signifying they were fallen, decadent and servile. This is thought to be because allegedly the Greeks were not fans of straightforward battle, but preferred other tactics like ambushes and night-attacks.
