minus-square@Maalus@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglish-27•2 years agoThis is such a lame excuse. If the company never turned a profit - they shouldn’t exist anymore. Not shittify their service till nobody uses it.
minus-square@RobertOwnageJunior@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglish39•edit-22 years agoBut their service is great if you pay for premium. Which is fine in my book.
minus-square@Maalus@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglish-5•2 years agoThe point is they haven’t turned a profit even with people having premium. So what’s the reason for them to exist
minus-square@ZoopZeZoop@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglish14•2 years agoThis is the case with a lot of companies. Facebook didn’t turn a profit for 10 years or something that sounds equally crazy.
minus-square@mcqtom@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglish17•2 years agoThat’s more or less the problem (one of many problems I suppose).
