This is just an ad read.
I use Tidal and love it for HiFi playback. They're kinda like Criterian for music and take the time to capture high bitrate archival masters. It's pretty cool.
I'm not upset at prices changing, don't put words in my mouth. I'm disappointed to see an ad here. I don't care about this Subscription Service (With High-Res Audio and Atmos!), I do care about not being advertised to. If I wanted to know about the price of a service I'd go to the service and competitors directly.
Fuck this person's paid opinions.
This is the second time you've put words in my mouth to derogate my opinion. I never described myself as surprised, and I can imagine you're struggling to believe that I am because it isn't true.
The verge is an advertisment bureau doing what they do, and I'm not surprised to find them shilling, I'm disappointed to find you (and so many others) actively supporting- no, insisting on being advertised to.
Get over yourself mate.
cope
insane cope
I don't think you know what that word means.
To be miserable somewhere else.
Seems like you're asserting that the article is sponsored content without being disclosed, in violation of FTC guidelines. Seems like a pretty serious claim that borders on libel. Do you have any proof of your allegations?
Dude. You have an opinion, huh? shut up with this ridiculous arrogance. You don't deserve it, and neither do they deserve your haughty tone.
Provide your opinion next time, without whipping your ego out like a hobo on a train
Why are people downvoting this? I sense strong sarcasm
I appreciate you but no, i was burning him
You really weren't, though.
Who're you, kid showbiz?
good one
Take me to court, I'd love to see what a well crafted subpoena would do in discovery.
Edit: Actually, that's unironically a great point. I should put in a complaint to the FTC.
You okay love? You need a hug?
I think they just need attention.
Article specifically calls how they're axing military and first responder discounts, how you still get upcharged for HiFi if you use their DJ Integration feature, and how they're nixing the free tier.
The article is not an advertisement; it contains some good news for consumers and some bad news for consumers. The notable bit is the good news, hence it's the headline. And it's notable exactly because it's good news
most everyone else is raising prices across the board.
You don't know the Verge, perhaps
This is just a good news and they are reporting it as such
I am too familiar with this gaudy website and its concept of journalism.
Ok. So journalistically, the key points to get across here are:
How would you have reported the news? Would you have done something differently?
Not.
It's not news.
Yes, it is. It may not be interesting to you, but it is (as others said) noteworthy when a company bucks the trend of the industry.
This type of story is business journalism
it's not world news or politics, but it's still news. And the article isn't as rosy as the headline
they are still upcharging for the HiFi service if you used the DJ Integration feature (no idea what this is, I don't use Tidal), and they're axing military and first responder discounts.
for when you want to legitimize your advertising
Nothing can make it news.
There is no presentation that can turn an article about a price drop into anything but an ad.
imagine i am hitting you with a newspaper
What about a price hike? If Netflix or Spotify increased their prices, would that be news?
Yes because things are only allowed to ever be bad.
I would not have reported this advertisement as news. The thing I would have done differently is not be a shill.
So you're talking out of your ass. Got it
Funny, I feel the same way.
Hey, at least we agree on something lol
That's a start.
You also feel like you're talking out of your ass?
This guy is fun at parties
Do you have anything to add that isn't merely insulting? Like, a thought. Do you have any thoughts to share? Inside of your head. do you have any
Yea, that you’re fun at parties.
next time you have a thought
let it go
I don’t think I’m going to let mr. ”bad-take—edgy-2006-gamer-tag-name-guy” tell me what to do. So nah.
I initially upvoted this comment, but since every other comment you've made is weird and combative, you've somehow made me stop agreeing with you. It's an odd feeling.
