Tidal has recently eliminated its most expensive plan and bundled everything it offered into the cheaper tier. So it's actually the opposite of enshittification. I love it

You can also use their DNS server without having to install anything
OK I read the bandcamp thing and... It's not enshittification at all. Can we stop applying the term to every online service that kinda gets slightly worse for some reason or another?
Just in case:
Here is how platforms die: first, they are good to their users; then they abuse their users to make things better for their business customers; finally, they abuse those business customers to claw back all the value for themselves. Then, they die. I call this enshittification
None of those things happened with Bandcamp
You're probably better off using dedicated websites for each site you need to download videos from.
They are usually ridden with ads, but it's not a problem if you use uBlock Origin or similar addons
Eugene of Mastodon has signed an NDA with Facebook.
Is this true? Where can I read more about it?
Copilot lists its sources. The problem is half of them are completely made up and if you click on the links they take you to the wrong pages
My guess is that they've realized that nobody subscribed to the highest tier, so they've incorporated its features into the normal tier, hoping to make it up in volume (I.e. new people subscribing because it's cheap and it offers more than Spotify). So perhaps they are going to be able to pay artists the same rates
No, there is what Tidal calls "HiRes FLAC", which is 24-bit, 192 kHz. Their website does not even mention MQA anymore. They've moved away from MQA since early 2023, when the MQA company went bankrupt
I guess people who also like YT premium
It does sound clickbait-y and I guess that's why there are butthurt people in the comments. I guess its meaning is "literally everyone is raising prices, while Tidal is lowering them". TBF I also had to read the title again because it's pretty strange to see prices decrease
Friendly reminder that Tidal costs the same, has a bigger catalog, does not pester you with podcasts, has lossless quality audio and it includes lyrics
