        You say “more money,” but this person is on free tier. They are paying nothing and they expect more. Is that not entitlement? I’m not some raving capitalist, but isn’t it okay to charge money for certain services?

          When a company offers free services and then starts charging after people start using them(or in the case of OP, become dependent on them) then it’s complete bullshit. Now you can’t trust free services because a company can just decide it’s not free whenever they want.

            You gave me a free sample in the supermarket? I demand free cheese for life, you monster!

              The fact you’re reaching this far means you got the point but you have to “win” or some shit. Bye.

        No, they don’t. This feature works exactly the same regardless of what your ears can or can’t do.

          If you have working ears, you can hear the lyrics.

          Can’t believe I’m explaining how hearing works

            You are not explaining how hearing works. You are manipulating. You are manipulating by equating one’s ability to hear with a Spotify feature. These are not the same thing, and comparing them is not correct.

                But the feature works exactly the same for deaf and not deaf people, we’ve established that already. Well, at least you agreed that you were lying and manipulating. I will take the win.

                  That argument style is main thing that props up all sorts of discrimination. The truth is that applying the same rule to everyone often does not effect everyone the same way. You can argue about the rule being the same, but it’s generally more useful to focus on the effects.

                    I don’t think Spotify was created with deaf people in mind. It’s unfair to imply the company did this on purpose to worsen their lives. I bet they didn’t even think about this use-case. I agree that deaf people should be able to enjoy music, and Spotify can do something to help. But it’s not that simple. For example, how would they charge people who can hear, but offer the service for free to those who can’t? It’s not as easy as this post makes it seem. That’s why I wrote my first comment.
