72. I'm more "fuck online music streaming services".

Tue Nov 3, 2015, 01:41 PM

Nov 2015

I heard an ad the other day that said "Do you want a service that provides ad free music streaming in exchange for allowing us to collect information about the purchases you make everyday". My answer to thar was "Um... fuck off.".

I'd like to tell Apple where they can shove their music streaming service, but in the interest of good taste, I won't.
