    I’d say that they’re “cooking the books” as in: making it look like they’re in better shape than they are by cutting costs, but causing irreparable damage to themselves that will manifest in the long run.

    I’ve survived 3 layoffs at Spotify last year alone. Once I started working there It didn’t take long to be proud and feel happy about it. Now, although people still find it cool when I tell them and I still do the same job (no workload increase), I know it is just like any other greedy corpo and I feel compelled to care less and less.

      Can I ask you why Spotify has this braindead handling of downloaded songs where it still tries to fucking stream them? This goes on my nerves so incredibly much that I’m thinking about quitting my subscription because it’s so fucking stupid.

      I’ve downloaded it, Spotify. No you don’t have to fucking stream it when I have a bad network connection so the fucking downloaded song constantly cuts off or doesn’t even load!!!
