Do you have your troll accusation saved in a text file to copy and paste when you write comments? Are you so far up in your own ego that anybody who has a different opinion or take than you has to be a troll, and still consider yourself writing in "good faith"?
You are comparing individual consumers and citizens with a powerful billion dollar company like Spotify. They should be able to take care of themselves, and if they can't they should fail and close shop.

No, and this has become a strange hang-up of hackers. You can have an iPhone _and_ an Android phone with F-Droid. Apple do not send agents to break into your house and force their devices out of your hands when they get notice that you've bought a Samsung. Have both and use each as they benefit you. My recommendation is that you purchase devices that fit your needs.
I like feeling the breeze when I drive, but I don't petition the European Union to force Toyota to add a window that can be opened in the windshield. Instead I go for a motorcycle ride. That doesn't mean I have to get rid off my car.
- madsbuch 3y agoyour comments are so light gray that I need to select the text to even read it. it seems like consensus is that it is trolling. Spotify did take care of themselves. that is what we are seeing the result of now.
- carlosjobim 3y agoArgument by down votes only tells something about the people down voting and those who give credit to such behaviour. Let's see who can boo the loudest! Yes Spotify didn't want to invest time, money and effort to win customers in the free market, so they went to the bureaucrats to force Apple to let them get access to their customer base. And the bureaucrats got to steal some juicy billions for themselves, because this fine is not going to consumers. It's kind of ironic if you consider what kind of business model Spotify themselves have, but this probably goes over the heads of down voting hackers.
- madsbuch 3y agowhat free market? can you explain me what a free market is like I was a 2 year old? if Spotify hire a militia and let them demolish all Apples offices, is that just the free market? Apple should just have invested more in defense.
- carlosjobim 3y agoUh, is this something that was brought up at the developers conference and I missed? Or was this in Spotify's quarterly reports?
- saurik 3y agoJust because a company is also evil itself doesn't mean that it can't make a very correct point about anther company's clearly despicable behavior.
