I once compared the prices of medication I regularly use, in the US and in my country. Still can't stop thinking of how bizarre the difference is. For some drugs I would have to pay up to 100 times more in the US. And it's the same brand name, not a generic drug. Like what kind of added value can medication acquire to justify this unthinkable price difference.

How can such healthcare system even exist lol. It's like the whole population of the USA are constantly exploited by the insurance companies which thrive on the unjustifiably overpriced cost of medical services and drugs.

Playlist downloads can be made available to free users.

My point was, if people are unhappy with the price increase, why go to a platform they dislike when they can simply get around the dilemma with tools people in similar situations have made.

I don't think saying you want to pay to support a multi-billion dollar company is a good answer for "why" - maybe ease of use is, but if that were the case, why move to Spotify if you dislike it? That's not ease of use.

Thanks, I can't see how the medium option may be beneficial, I guess this would be betting on the draw most of the times. I can check, of course.The question is: how do I report back the results? I feel I have already exhausted the limit of attention people are willing to spare here =)
