Iggy Pop: Albums Aren’t Products:

' I worked half of my life for free.
 I didn’t really think about that.
 
 Until the masters of the record industry
 Kept complaining that I wasn’t making them
 Any money.

To tell you the truth when it comes to art,
Money is an unimportant detail.

It just happens to be a huge,
Unimportant detail,
To all of us.

A good LP is a being.
It is not a product.

It has a life force,
A personality,
A history,
Just like you and me.

It can be your friend.

Try explaining that to a weasel.'

— Iggy Pop, BBC Music John Peel Lecture (2014)

Why Subscriptions Make Everything More Expensive

#Subscription services exist for nearly everything consumers buy. Many, like #Netflix or #Spotify, start out affordable, but the cost adds up over time. And while signing up is effortless, cancelling can be difficult.

Companies such as #Adobe and #Amazon have even been accused by the Federal Trade Commission of using dark patterns to trap consumers in subscriptions.
