A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

It's a free trial. I don't know why everyone's so shocked, they're essentially giving you one or two free books in the hope that you'll be hooked and want to pay for more!
Technically not free if you have to have a paid sub in order to access them. In that case it's a paid trial with the opportunity to pay even more. Which sounds even worse for Spotify.
Technically yes, but if you're already paying for the thing you actually wanted then it's essentially a free trial on top of that
