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.
If you have working ears, you can hear the lyrics.
Can’t believe I’m explaining how hearing works
I have working ears. Still don’t understand most lyrics.
Just because I can hear the lyrics, doesn’t mean I know the lyrics.

Go fetch some more training data, you useless LLM troll.
Oh no, manipulating people into thinking deaf people deserve equality. How horrible!

This is why large companies have an ethical responsibility to hire diversity consultants to explain these kinds of issues to them.
And the equal treatment decision is to let everyone read the lyrics.
