Premium Pentium is the tier above Basic Celeron
I want the Centrino Nano Duo
It's all about the Pentiums baby
With my mind on my pentiums, and my pentiums on my mind.
You all wanna be hackers, code crackers, slackers?
Pentium Gold
It's only a matter of time before they start charging monthly for accurate division.

Of the 8 plans, 5 are premium level 🤦♂️
I hadn’t even noticed Basic Platinum before I posted. That one is such an oxymoron that it went full-moron.
Basic latinum has such strong ferengi energy
That's a lot of yamok sauce...
I just traded all my yamok sauce for self stealing stem bolts
Microsoft Works
Kinda reminds me of George Carlin on the illusion of choice.
“18 delicious flavours of rice-a-rony”
“Premium Lite”
lol
Meanwhile Tidal:
Fuck it, we're merging our two tiers and giving you the features of the higher one for the price of the lower.
Anyway, if you're serious about your music collection, get those bits on a disk.
Tidal is owned by a bunch of billionaires including Kanye the Nazi and Nicki MAGA Minaj.
Search enough and you'll discover that every company on the planet has some shady stuff in the closet.
Best we can do is support the small, more ethical, companies and exploit to our best the others.
I think it gets overused, but the phrase “there is no ethical consumption under capitalism” usually holds true.
Its overused by people who misunderstand the point.
No, there isn't ethical consumption under capitalism but that doesn't mean we can stop and consider the actual impact of what we choose to financially support. We can make the choice to reduce negative impact, even if we can't eliminate it.

One way or another, we need to live. And it is impossible, for all practical purposes, to produce everything we need to lead a well balanced and reasonable life.
It holds a degree of validity, but like all absolutes, it leaves out everything between complete lack and total abuse.
They own shares in the company. Kanye has since a few years back sold his shares. Jay-Z should still be a board member though.
How is tindal for electronic music that is not popular dance/edm
Hm, it's good I'd say. There isn't everything on Tidal and so I have to have some albums on my phone or bandcamp (that is true for Spotify as well). And Tidal isn't great at distinguishing artists with the same name. But I don't listen to any popular music and I'm fine. Now that Tidal knows my taste it also gives me some great recommendations. I've actually started listening to the "my daily discovery" playlists nearly every day. It updates daily and quite often there is something new and interesting in there. I've got an IDM playlist of 539 tracks. And through Tidal I've discovered jazz, a ton of vintage african music, luk thung/mor lam, and other genres I hadn't even known :)

Is everything premium? If everything is premium, then nothing is premium.
I would recommend you to leave this unethical platform anyway.
Is there an ethical music platform?
Buying from bandcamp or directly from the artist if possible
Premium Premium is all that's missing
Premium Premium plus lite
I refuse to pay for spotify and quietly judge anyone who does.
I loudly judge those who do
OH NO YOU DON'T.
WHAT?!
Curious as to which country this is, because under US they only have individual, student, duo, and family. Methinks this screenshot is satire lol.
I thought it was satire too. But nope.... Looks like in some countries they really have these different tiers.
Charging more for lossless is such a rip off when many other platforms like deezer include it with their regular plan.
Premium lite
Basic platinum
I prefer Nicotine+
Still not as bad as microsoft naming sense
It's not like that for me, but I assume it's because of my different region.
I only have
- premium individual
- premium student
- duo plan
- family plan
Wish I canceled earlier. The earliest time is whenever before the price hike. The second earliest was when they hiked the price up.
But now I am free. And if I really want to stream anything I'll just pirate YouTube music. There are still a lot of anime style music and covers that are only on YouTube.
Well, these aren't real in my country. We have Individual, Student, Duo and Family
In my country we boycott the Spotify because they removed all the revolutionist songs of grup yorum. So u imagine how bastard they are!
I bet if they added a tier that allowed you to visit Daniel Ek and kick him square in the junk that would be pretty popular.
Just use OuterTune on mobile and YT Music with uBlock Origin on the web. And if you want to have it locally, then use yt-dlp.
It's confusing on purpose so you give up before finding the one with no ads and just pick the fifth one down the list
If you subscribe to Goon Squad Platinum, you receive access to the exclusive guild, a 100g daily guild bank withdrawal, PLUS all previous tiers' benefits!
