Following Landmark Court Ruling, Spotify Submits New App Update to Apple to Benefit U.S. Consumers

Spotify gathers tons of data on their clients, pays artists less than other services, is being spammed with Ai slop and Spotify funds and hosts Joe Rogan.

Fuck them.

Updated May 2: In a victory for consumers, artists, creators, and authors, Apple has approved Spotify’s U.S. app update. After nearly a decade, this will finally allow us to freely show clear pricing information and links to purchase, fostering transparency and choice for U.S. consumers. We can now give consumers lower prices, more control, and easier access to the Spotify experience. There is more work to do, but today represents a significant milestone for developers and entrepreneurs everywhere who want to build and compete on a more level playing field. It’s the opening act of a new era, and we could not be more ready for the show.

Great news. I've been an Apple Music subscriber for quite a while but just stumbled into Spotify recently. I'm actually enjoying it more. I like the Audiobooks feature and the smart shuffle. I've discovered more using Spotify in a month than I have with Apple Music in years. I do still like Apple Music though, the lyrics and karaoke function is fun especially with my 3 year old.
