It didn’t originally have lyrics so free users are not really losing anything.
EDIT: they created an incredible UI around a service that upended the music industry and y’all are mad that they’re charging to use some extra features? u still have your music for free. they probably shouldn’t have had a feature free and then charged for it, but in the end you still have free music. what free streaming service is better?
correct me if I’m wrong, but all other major streaming services have lyrics behind paywall (Apple, Amazon, Tidal). with Spotify having the largest user base, it makes sense to try to get some users to switch rather than keep a feature free that their competitors require subscription for.

Google users didn’t originally have gmail, so if Google paywalls it nobody is losing anything?
Apples to oranges
That seems like egg plant to aubergine to me
Haha more like eggplant to farmers market.
Some features makes sense to be behind paywalls like the ai dj feature but basic features that was previously free is ridiculous

I have an issue with free features becoming behind a paywall no matter which company do it. I have no issue with new pro features to be added
fair. in your opinion, it should have never been free to begin with.
Yes, i wouldn’t mind
