Per the article, the service hasn't changed in price in 12 years, while the platform has certainly received a decent number of updates, new features, new artists, etc.
If it isn't worth $11/month to you, don't pay it? But it doesn't seem right to insinuate that they're doing something outrageous by raising prices once in 12 years?
If Costco can sell glizzies for a buck fifty a pop I don’t wanna hear it
Fwiw Costcos main profit is from membership sales…which they’ve been cracking down hard on right now!
Wait - what are they doing?
Making sure you have a membership before you can buy things. Shocking...
Haven't they always done that?
They’ve been more strict about it recently, especially with people that share memberships and self checkout stations.
