Spotify also recently raised their proces, but tbf they kinda had to with the inflation. The depressing thing is that creators are rewarded for borting. (See slightly Sociables "the dark side of spotify" vid for indepth)

So, they used inflation as an excuse to charge people more money for an already-profitable product?

Wow.

Corporations keep talking about inflation as if the regular users aren't already being screwed by it. "Here, since you have less disposable money, lets charge even more."
