    So how did deaf people enjoy music for free before Spotify?

      Talking about lyrics specifically?; they probably didn’t. That’s no reason to not make things more accessible to people with disabilities though. It’s about quality of life and making sure people with disabilities have equitable access.

      If having the lyrics available is an essential part of being able to enjoy the music, it should be as equally accessible as the music is.

        Definitely. But if this specific feature, that isn’t even primarily intended as an accessibility feature, has apparently not been available before in this form, does it make sense to call out Spotify for making that feature available “only” limited on the free version?

        But yes, I’m aware of the community I’m on right now :D
