Spotify is raising the cost of Premium subscriptions, again (www.engadget.com)

Spotify is officially raising its Premium subscription rates in the US come July, following reports of the move in April. The platform is increasing its Individual plan from $11 to $12 monthly and its Duo plan from $15 to $17 monthly — the same jump as last year's $1 and $2 price hikes, respectively. However, its Family plan is going up by a whopping $3, increasing from $17 to $20 monthly. The only subscribers getting a break are students, who will continue to pay $6 monthly.

Spotify announced the price hikes less than a year after its previous one last July. Before that, Spotify hadn't raised its fees since launching a decade and a half ago. I guess it was too optimistic to hope the next increase would also take that long, especially with Spotify's continued focus (and money dump) on audiobooks.

Premium subscribers should receive an email from Spotify in the next month detailing the price hike and providing a link to cancel their plan if they would prefer to do so. Users currently on a trial period for Spotify will get one month at $11 after it ends before being moved up to a $12 monthly fee.

You're supposed to vaguely imply the existence of those, not just give away secrets in public bruh

Does this get rid of ads? It just looks like a UX redesign.

The android app for sure gets rid of ads. I just use browser + adblock for PC so unsure there

[–] murmelade@lemmy.ml 0 points 8 months ago

Yes the PC one has adblock and you can re-skin and use widgets from their marketplace (free)

What is this? I can't find a description anywhere on GitHub of what this is

Removes ads with the free accounts. You will be limited to free sound quality and other premium features are missing but ya know, good enough for free without ads.
