I’ve been riding an old “premium” subscription from the introduction of Google Play Music (or whatever it was called) years ago when it was introduced, for like $3/month. Seemed like a reasonable deal to me.
They did just (finally) jack the price up on me, though, so as soon as i get some free time i’m canceling.
But they’ll still make themselves out to be poor orphans begging for scraps on the street corner because their wealth and power pales in comparison to their greed. It could never hope to keep up.
