"the unthinkable"

Hyperbole much?

...why? The music platform is solid, and far better designed than Spotify. I've been a member since it was called 'Play Music'. And yeah, I've also had no ads but I signed up for the music service.

and assuming you can escape ADs, they will include ads and raise prices immediately, and people were touting how its better.

Was about to say the same. Unthinkable, I never even thought of subscribing in the first place!

[–] anomnom@sh.itjust.works 6 points 5 days ago

Maybe watching ads is the unthinkable. It sure is for me, but I block them instead of paying.

Inconceivable!
