I don’t even know the lyrics to some of my favorite songs. I think the whole complaining about unlimited, free lyrics is ridiculous. Spotify isn’t a charity and just because someone can’t enjoy music as much due to not reading lyrics isn’t an accessibility thing.

Guess Spotify should just get rid of the free tier and then this wouldn’t even be an issue.

Okay, well get back to me when you have some lived experience of deafness and maybe we can have a productive discussion then, seeing as my point seems to have gone completely over your head.

Should my free local newspaper also include everything in braille?

Listen, I don’t want to be in a pointless internet argument; I could answer your question by referencing some of the things that go into deciding what reasonable adjustments should be put in place, legally speaking (in particular, your question is getting at the “how much is reasonable” aspect of the problem"), but I only want to engage in this conversation if you’re actually interested to learn.

(On that front, I apologise for the sharp tone of my previous comment, because that certainly wasn’t conducive to conversation.)

Ohh, they’re trying to be a shit-hole. Now I understand.

You guys, there’s a reason we don’t clean toilets. Toilets are supposed to be dirty.

Fuck Subscriptions

!fucksubscriptions@lemmy.world

Create post

Naming and shaming all “recurring spending models” where a one-time fee (or none at all) would be appropriate and logical.

Expect use of strong language.

Follow the basic rules of lemmy.world and common sense, and try to have fun if possible.

No flamewars or attacking other users, unless they’re spineless corporate shills.

Note that not all subscriptions are awful. Supporting your favorite camgirl creator or Lemmy server on Patreon is fine. An airbag with subscription is irl Idiocracy-level dystopian bullshit.

New community rule: Shilling for cunty corporations, their subscriptions and other anti-customer practices may result in a 1-day ban. It’s so you can think about what it’s like when someone can randomly decide what you can and can’t use, based on some arbitrary rules. Oh what, you didn’t read this fine print? You should read what you’re agreeing to.
