The only reason I even have Hulu is because I pay for Spotify. Otherwise, it's just not worth the price tag for me.
Spotify, though...raised its price recently, but also gave me new features that I use, so I'm not complaining.
The one I know for sure is new that I use is an AI DJ feature. It plays music in sets it thinks you'll like, then lets you know when a new set is starting and what it'll be like; lets you start a new set manually if you don't like the type of music being played.
As someone who lived alone, when it came out it was nice to have a friendly voice (sounds like a young, 20-something guy), even though fake, to talk to me about my music.
Clearly I need to do research on them, though; I'm out of the loop on their nastiness.
I'm on a Disney/Hulu bundle for $19.99, that isn't bad. Hopefully that won't change. But as soon as Ahsoka is over I plan to cancel.
This is what happened to cable too I think. My grandpa was saying back in the day cable was what you got to avoid ads
I can’t see any removing the ad free option, they’ll just make it more expensive.
Yeah but sometimes there’s nothing better than a good foie gras
