What’s going on with tech, recently?
Netflix cracking down on password sharing, reddit’s API changes, every streaming platform raising their prices, YouTube fighting against adblockers and potentially charging creators for visibility… the list goes on and on, and it seems to be coming from every direction all at once.
Am I missing some huge financial change in the tech investment sphere that has affected Silicon Valley (ie. freakout due to the SVB collapse)?
Or is this just a case of companies seeing each other get away with squeezing consumers, and following suit?
They raised the price by 1 whole dollar after however many years and y'all are acting like it's the tech apocalypse. This is hardly on the same scale as what Netflix is doing.
There's a reason you're poor.
Sure, but it ain't because of a dollar extra on spotify.
