This is like a bully sitting on your chest controlling your arms going ‘don't punch your face!’. You preinstall Apple Music on a billion+ devices, undercut your competitors on a subsidized price they can never match, boost yourself with illegal anticompetitive features and entitlements and systemwide ad spots, regularly stall them from submitting updates, and then complain they don't innovate enough??

I'm seriously about ready for this company to burn to the ground

@stroughtonsmith @9to5Mac Will happily keep paying the service that pays actual artists more.

@Noelwalling @stroughtonsmith @9to5Mac Bandcamp + regular iTunes purchases for those who are not on Bandcamp

I'm still with my huge mp3 folder after all this years. No trust in streaming services and they also miss lots of rare music (like Japanese Touhou circles)
