    The average person: Spotify sucks and is making me hate them even more

    Shareholders seeing layoffs followed by AI replacements for those workers and then repeated price hikes: 🤑

        It worked differently before speech was considered money. Or I like to tell myself that.

          It worked differently before because the information network was orders of magnitude slower and data was expensive as Pope shit.

          Nowadays, the information is almost instant and everything is interconnected and data storage is cheap so we got big data with people paid solely to boil that down to algorithms that squeeze money as much as possible from customers.

          Just look at all the streaming services that makes you pay more if you don’t want ads and they resell your data. Triple dipping baby

        The myth of capitalism is that it improves things for the consumer

        So you don’t think your life is better than someone from the 16th century?
