      You don’t know the Verge, perhaps

      This is just a good news and they are reporting it as such

          Ok. So journalistically, the key points to get across here are:

          • Tidal is changing its subscriptions plans
          • They are now cheaper
          • That’s pretty unique since literally everyone else on the planet is increasing prices, not lowering them

          How would you have reported the news? Would you have done something differently?

              Yes, it is. It may not be interesting to you, but it is (as others said) noteworthy when a company bucks the trend of the industry.

              This type of story is business journalism — it’s not world news or politics, but it’s still news. And the article isn’t as rosy as the headline — they are still upcharging for the HiFi service if you used the DJ Integration feature (no idea what this is, I don’t use Tidal), and they’re axing military and first responder discounts.
