he just died too soon for everyone to see him for the villain he was
Oh he died soon enough.

I earnestly wrote a couple of lines, and then a week later they replied that they don’t have enough information to decide, at which point I just threw my hands up and decided for them.

WEI is a proposed modification to Chrome/Chromium that doesn’t even exist yet, and that would have the side effect of blocking adblockers on every site that implements WEI.
This here is an already existing change to the YouTube service that blocks adblockers on YouTube.

But the point is, for the cost of a single CD per month I was able to listen to any CD from any band whenever I wanted. It was an extremely easy decision to sign up.
Yeah but my point is, you pay but you don’t actually get those albums. So if after some years Spotify turns to shit you don’t have anything to show for when you cancel the service, and even though you have paid the equivalent of dozens of albums your music collection is gone.
Also, I don’t buy anyting near an album per month, so even on that level it doesn’t make sense to me. I do have a large collection, but I’m not really digging much current music anymore so if I buy two albums per year, it’s a lot.

This has nothing to do with WEI. Google can do more than one shitty thing at once you know.

Never understood why anyone would want to rent their music in the first place. As good as the service may be when you sign up for it, you know it will eventually turn to shit as they’re trying to monetize every last cent out of it, and then your only choices are to endure the shit or to quit the service and be left with nothing.
