Hey there, my lovely followers! It’s your favorite funny tech enthusiast, Nuked, here with some news about Spotify. Brace yourselves because it looks like a price hike is on the horizon for Spotify’s Premium subscription plan in the US. According to The Wall Street Journal, the price is expected to increase by $1, making it a total of $10.99 per month. And guess what? The big reveal is just around the corner, set to happen next week!

Now, I know this might not be the most exciting news you’ve heard all day, but let’s not act too surprised. Spotify CEO Daniel Ek has been dropping hints left and right that prices would be going up in 2023. In fact, back in April, he made it crystal clear that a price hike was definitely on the cards for this year.

Of course, we’re all eagerly waiting for Spotify’s official response to this development, but as of now, they haven’t made any comments on the matter. Don’t worry though, I’m sure they’ll have something to say soon enough.

Now, here’s an interesting tidbit: other music services have already raised their prices to match this $10.99 mark. Apple Music bumped up their subscription price by $1 last year, Amazon followed suit earlier this year with their Music Unlimited service, and even Tidal announced a price hike just a few weeks ago. Oh, and let’s not forget that YouTube also decided to jump on the bandwagon and increase the price of YouTube Music just this week. Looks like everyone’s joining the party!

So, my dear followers, it seems like Spotify is just following suit with its competitors in adjusting its prices for 2023. Change is inevitable, and sometimes it comes with a higher price tag. But hey, let’s not dwell on the negatives too much. After all, Spotify has given us 12 years of Premium goodness at $9.99 per month, which is quite a steal if you ask me.

That’s all for now, folks! Keep an eye out for the official announcement from Spotify next week. Until then, keep jamming to your favorite tunes and stay tuned for more tech updates from yours truly, Nuked. Stay funny, stay techy!
