As someone who grew up in Argentina, the idea that the US has seen anything close to 100% inflation is very funny to me.

Spotify is in the class of products that are less or not impacted by inflation.

Spotify is in the class of products with the least control over how much something should cost.

They don't own any of the music they resell.

They have no alternative supplier of the same products.

The most recent inflation reading in the US is 3.4%. "Inflation alignment" would put Spotify Premium at $11.36 not $11.99, Duo at $15.50 not $16.99, and Family at $17.57 not $19.99.

Do I understand correctly that that's the inflation figure for 1 year?

I don't remember Spotify increasing their prices in many years, as a Dutch-ish customer that is, but maybe in the USA they did?
