And at the same time, you hear about these companies leaning more into AI, cutting costs (including layoffs), and still pushing higher subscription prices &#8211; that combo just doesn\u2019t sit right.<\/p>\n<p>Curious how others are dealing with this &#8211; are you sticking with Spotify, switching plans, or just cutting back on subscriptions altogether?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><!-- SC_ON --><br \/>\n<br \/>&#8212;<br \/>\nSuggestionAny3744<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Got an email from Spotify today, the Duo plan in Ireland is going from \u20ac16.99 to \u20ac18.99 (it&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":128380,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[18],"tags":[81],"class_list":{"0":"post-128379","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-ireland","8":"tag-ireland"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@forums\/116473965072925726","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/forums\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/128379","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/forums\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/forums\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/forums\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/forums\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=128379"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/forums\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/128379\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/forums\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/128380"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/forums\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=128379"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/forums\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=128379"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/forums\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=128379"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
