Spotify Raising Prices in Multiple Countries

Spotify today said that it is raising prices for Premium subscriptions in multiple countries across South Asia, the Middle East, Africa, Europe, Latin America, and the Asia-Pacific region.

General Spotify Feature
Spotify is sending out emails to customers who will see their subscription prices go up.

A sample email suggests that prices in an unnamed European country are increasing by a euro, from €10.99 to €11.99. Price hikes will vary by location, and Spotify users can see the new pricing for their country by visiting the Spotify website.

Prices are not going up in all markets at this time including the United States. In the U.S., a Premium individual subscription continues to be priced at $11.99 per month.

Spotify says prices are increasing so that it can "continue to innovate" on product offerings and features and "bring users the best experience."

Europe huh? You mean getting that extra 30% back from not going through the App Store IAP wasn't enough?

how about paying artists more to be on par with Apple and others. Spotify is a parasite that leeches on musicians , phone platforms and manufacturers.

Spotify:
Dear EU, thank you for excluding us from Gatekeeper designation! To show our appreciation, we’re raising prices… the same thing that those who controls markets tend to do. Please continue to look the other way.

In general companies are never pleased no matter their revenue or profits. At this point we can certainly say they are greedy.
What's worst is that Epic and Spotify were upset because of Apple's 15% and 30% commission but once they can charge customers directly those profits go into the company's pocket and not into the pockets of app developers or musicians.
