Got the mail today, and it is written rather nicely at first glance, but close inspection reveals the utter contempt for the customers and artists - including the godawful “if you opt out we may terminate your account because you are not in line anymore”. What’s happening with all these previously decent enough companies?

They always hated you, it's just that they don't need you anymore.

They serve Mammon rather than Morals. Profit over Truth.
