That metric is what it comes down to though. Measure as you like - the way they are paying is unfair toward the content creators. The thing is their price rises won't benefit the small artists as much as the big ones. Even if they raised the cost for subscriptions - it's disproportionally distributed. The big boys are the ones that cash it all. And that's further accelerated through their playlist strategies, which makes it that music with already wide reach is recycled over and over, wheras smaller artists are pushed out even more. Their algorithms are biased in a way that punishes those that need premiums the most. If you want to directly support artists, use bandcamp. They cash in only 15% of the payment, Paypal takes a small cut but the rest goes directly to the musician or band. If you're a cheap fuck that wants access to everything without paying as much, keep using your gay Spotify and supporting that rigged system.

I don't get this mentality, I mean back in the day a single album used to cost as much as a Spotify sub. I totally understand the irritation of raising prices, but hasn't Spotify only raised prices twice in like 15 years? I feel like that's absolutely expected within reason, especially when you're getting unlimited music for the price of a single album, I mean ffs songs on iTunes used to be a dollar to 1.29 a pop

To be frank, I don’t think that outage cost them as much as you think it did lol. I spoke with folks that merely shrugged it off “eh, it happens”. And it was long enough ago now, I think people forgot it happened haha. As you said, things change. Sure CS has an alert only option, but they have plenty of offering to go on top of that. And they will offer good prices to get new customers in a competitive situation. Unusual Onion is right, you certainly don’t get fired to ponying up for crowdstrike.

I think the industry with consolidate around CrowdStrike (nobody ever got fired for picking them) and Microsoft (for when barely good enough is good enough!). SMB and cost conscious will go to other players.

This pos has cost me enough. I don’t bet on it anymore. Until Elon’s foreign benefactors lose faith in him, or he’s finally arrested for treason , this stock is so manipulated.

I hear you; I was in a similar situation with RKLB. My average was around $6, and a couple hundred shares got called away at $25. I decided not to sell calls on the rest, but the premiums were tempting, and those shares were recently called away at $80. I do have a bit of regret about selling the calls, but I’m still happy with the profit I made given how low my average cost was.

Modern markets are all about high frequency trading and driving assets higher than they should go and also much lower than they should go. It's called painting the tape. And yet, knowing how modern manipulated markets work, amatuers are still trading large positions and not diversifying. tip number one: all your trades should be quite small. heck, trades are nearly free now anyways. why not benefit from all the dirt cheap prices which get posted (slowly dollar cost average), and also the sky high prices offered (slowly trim your winners as they reach new highs and absurd highs). tip number two: diversify more. have a hundred or more stocks/etfs you're eyeing and nibble when appropriate. large options trades will wreck you. avoid! options are for institutional traders running algorithmic trading desks. they're used as hedges and leverage, but only because you know how you're trading the underlining asset. and yeah, gambler's anonymous is exactly what you need. you weren't investing. investing is simply valuing assets based on future cash flows/earnings, total addressable markets, or merger opportunities.

Bought at 80, sold at 180. Punched myself in the face at 240. It went down because everything went down. If theres no real reason....see it as a discount and dollar cost average!!
