And users should care because…
Because that means some developers are being arbitrarily charged at 30% fee basically. In Google has iterated over and over again that they don’t really want to negotiate it yet. For some reason they were willing to make a secret deal with Spotify?
And?
I don’t understand this fascination with people and then wanting to know legal business dealings. If it’s illegal, have them put into the court system. But even then, it has nothing to do with users.
Hackernews isn’t really catering to average end users.
This isn’t hn though, is it?
It is indeed a hacker news mirror on lemmy afaik. And that being said lemmy isn’t really an average user crowd either.
It’s your average users who seem to love being fed weird business news and celebrity gossip junk though…
The most likely thing Spotify has offered in return is user data imo.
