Because over 50% of all games on steam are complete trash.

Also bucking the trend of being well supported, having a LTPO screen, and not being 2x overpriced.

putting it in a pocket is way easier, it almost disappears

Most peoples pockets have depth problems, not width. Having a tall 21:9 phone makes that problem worse.

I only have the budget Xperia 10iii

Oh ok.

good cameras,

Nope. Garbage cameras.

These things are really beautiful. No iPhone clones here. Sony has it’s own design language which no one else has.

They're the typical glass and metal slab. What's so different about their design?

I promise you this is no poor quality display.

Says the person who doesn't have one and hasn't used one.

Sony have the best TV displays in the world

No they don't.

aaaaaaaaaand blocked :)

So you're ...... not........ going to answer the simple questions?

Who is profiting off uncompensated labor? Who stole what from who? You keep dodging the questions lol.

Spotify pay Musixmatch for lyrics. Spotify are paying for a service. If Musixmatch are "stealing" lyrics from somewhere that's not Spotify's problem.

Do you just believe that ALL subscriptions and payments to access something are "gatekeeping" behaviour? Answer the question. Is a movie theatre requiring you to buy a ticket before you can see the movie "gatekeeping" and bad? Is having to pay to watch netflix "gatekeeping"?

This is getting unbelievable in how much you are dancing around answering any questions about your crazy train of thought.

Yes I have. You just keep ignoring everything I say.

You haven't, so do it in reply to this. Who stole what from who?

Do I need to explain a 6th time what gatekeeping is?

I think you need someone to explain what it is to you tbh lol. Like I said, is this just you thinking that all subscription services are bad and "gate keeping"? Do you think needing to buy a ticket to go to a theme park is "gatekeeping"?

"rentseeking behaviour" is one of the dumbest things I've ever heard used to describe a subscription service.

Is that all this is - you dislike subscription services?

They can't gatekeep something that is available freely and easily outside of their service. They're putting their implementation of the lyrics being matched to the music inside their subscription service. That's not "gatekeeping".

You still haven't explained how anyone "stole" anything either.

Spotify don’t just sell lyrics lol. The lyrics are just another of the features that require premium.

So every product on the market is gate keeping?

Autocorrect sorry, supposed to be gate keeping.

Spotify isn’t gate keeping access to the lyrics - you’re free to look them up on musixmatch or any of the other lyric sites and services. They’ve simply added them to their subscription services. You don’t know what gate keeping means.

You also still haven’t answer how anyone “stole” anything? Who stole what and from who?

No one is gathering access to lyrics.

Who “stole“ something here, and from who?

Stolen? Who stole the lyrics?

It’s not up to Spotify to pay the wages of the company that provides a paid service to them.

It seems they were right going by how upset people are in here. Many of these people that are carrying on like spoiled children will no doubt subscribe to premium now.

I’m not sure, don’t listen to it sorry. Pirate bay?

That’s honestly the only thing making me consider voting yes. I don’t want to be partly responsible for nothing being done even if I don’t think voting yes will do anything either.

Irrelevant. It’s up to musixmatch to pay the creators or supplier of their content, not Spotify.

Spotify is receiving money for something they did not create.

Spotify are paying musixmatch for the lyrics.

Most people don't pirate stuff on their phones. I use an iPhone and my hundreds of gigabytes of pirated stuff is available on my iPhone via plexamp/plex/etc.
