androidauthority.com Unknown 2026-03-05 15:27:56

Tech Team / Android Authority TL;DR Last year Spotify introduced audiobook access and raised pricing for Premium plans. While there was still a music-only Basic option, these senators don’t think consumers were made adequately aware. They also accuse Spotify of orchestrating the whole change to lower its payouts to musicians. Streaming services raising their prices is just as inevitable as death and taxes, and year after year, we slowly end up paying more and more for that access. While we m

BlackJack3D/Getty Images The Greek myth of King Midas is a parable of hubris: seeking fabulous wealth, the king is granted the power to turn all he touches to solid gold--but this includes, tragically, his food and his daughter.
