MODERATORS
Software engineers have always needed to be paid, and companies got along just fine without subscription services. Bill Gates was the richest man in the world for the majority of my lifetime without a subscription service. The greed these days is immeasurable and needs to stop. It's ruining everything! I just noticed today that they're using the information band of the HD radio waves to push text ads to the car stereo while songs are playing now, instead of delivering song info like they said they'd do when they captured those public frequencies.
