This is a $1 dollar increase from what I was paying. But soon subscribers will be $15/month, then $20/month. I wonder how much of deezer's income actually goes to the artists.
I don't know about Deezer, but Spotify is raising prices while telling artists they will no longer be paid at all unless they reach a certain threshold of popularity. So they're boiling the frogs on both ends.
The middlemen who neither create nor appreciate music will still do OK though.
The frog in boiling water is actually a complete myth. The frog jumps out when the water is too warm for it, it's not completely stupid. If the price is 'too hot' for you, jump out. Deezer (or any other streaming service) isn't forcing you to stay subscribed.
I remember people giving Spotify shit for increasing their monthly price from 10 to 11. It was the first price hike in over a decade. That doesn’t seem devastating or bad or wrong.
Compare it to something like Disney plus and how drastically they increased the price since service introduction
According to Max, Deezer pays more per play but Deezer has less users than Spotify.
Privacy.com card, limit $1. Deezer premium free trial with fake email, immediately lock and delete privacy card. Login to Deezer in the deemix-gui app. Proceed to download all the music you could possibly want, in lossless format, until the trial runs out. Proceed to create a new privacy card and a new Deezer premium trial with a new fake email. Problem solved.
I'm still trying to buy physical CDs. It is getting more difficult, but they're still around.
This shitshow will only get worse, NOT better.
I know it might be an unpopular opinion over here, but I feel that's still an acceptable price. Music is honestly the only media where I just can't see myself going back to piracy again, because the comfort and ability to discover new music is just pretty much impossible to achieve without a streaming service... unfortunately
At this point people should be posting things that HAVENT seen a price hike. Because if there are companies out there not jacking up their rates, they deserve a standing O.
Remember that cheap subscriptions for digital media is the compromise we made. If they want to fuck around and find out then you should remind them that you can just as easily pay nothing for the same content.
I like deezer and I like that they are not part of big tech. It's just a small French company with a quality product as an alternative to Spotify, which is in bed with Google and everyone else.
Well worth the money.
You can disable the Google Meet navbar at the bottom in Gmail settings by the way
Deezer nuts, hah!
My Tidal Hi-Fi quality with veteran discount hasn't gone up a penny. It's like $6-7 a month for the CD quality lossless.
Look into Napster
Oh pirate bay... Lol
This is why I steal everything. Jk
Qobuz has been fantastic for me. Great music quality and selection, and not just garbage hit list music.
