Offering and offering and offering and offering. There's no way to say "I don't want this", you will get "offered" (meaning: advertised to) all the time when using these apps that previously worked just fine.
Maybe I've drunk too much of the koolaid, because I have never noticed one of these "ads". I don't use apple music or apple tv, and my phone has never pushed these services on me. It's not like they toss an alert when I open Spotify to ask me if I'd rather use Apple Music. Where are you getting served these ads?
Are you talking about getting upsold to a paid apple music subscription while listening to apple music for free? (Do they even have a free tier?) Or getting shown an option to upgrade icloud storage when looking at icloud settings? Because... those seem fair enough. Pay for the services you use.
I see the music ads. As one example if I click "Search" (which I do to search my own music) even before I've typed anything there are "trending" recommendations. As soon as I click to make the search active it defaults to Apple Music, instead of Your Library. I switch to "Your Library" but for whatever reason from time to time it ends up back on "Apple Music".
Other times I accidentally press the heart icon at the bottom thinking it's my favorites but it's an ad is are "browse"
If I could replace the default music player I would.
> even before I've typed anything there are "trending" recommendations
How is that an ad?
> As soon as I click to make the search active it defaults to Apple Music, instead of Your Library.
How is that an ad? The apple music app defaults to searching the apple music service.
> Other times I accidentally press the heart icon at the bottom thinking it's my favorites but it's an ad is are "browse"
I don't even know what that sentence means but that's the "for you" recommendations section. Even if it doesn't work if you don't pay for Apple Music, how is that an ad? This is a gated feature.
I agree that it doesn't sound like the apple music app is a good experience for you, but none of those are ads.
Recommending something I have to pay for not on my phone is an ad by almost any definition of ads. When I go to google and search I get many recommendations which are ads. All of the results in the Music app are links to sign up for Apple Music. That's an ad. If those recommendations were only for music on my phone they would not be ads. If those recommendations were just for random webpages that contain related music they would not be ads. But as a non-subscriber to Apple Music they are all ads for Apple Music.
Oh that's too bad; I didn't realize that. It looks like Apple's Enterprise Partner Relational Feed serves up JPEGs as well. I guess the last place to check would be by monitoring network traffic coming out of the iOS App Store app or iTunes Mac app, but that'd be a bit of a pain (not even sure those use PNG).
As making music has been a dream of mine for most of my life, and I had no actual barometer of skill besides personal preference, you bet your ass that it was terrifying.
People like you are why I actively avoid comment threads on Hacker News.
That's not an ad-hominem because he wasn't using it to support another point. He has every right to avoid being around negativeness. If you think that this attitude isn't doing him any good, that's also YOUR opinion and he has every right to disagree without being accused of a non-existent logical fallacy.
Thanks you, and thanks for the YouTube Search tip! I'm not at all ashamed to admit I'm refreshing that page like crazy to see the count go up, haha. :)
I went through YouTube's copyright dispute process, and said it was a fair use derivative work. YouTube's response is apparently to ask the copyright owner if they feel it's fair use. Which, of course, they didn't.
Ironically, it was LMFAO's label that had the problem, and yet LMFAO posted the song to their Facebook and Twitter profiles. C'est la vie.
The original PSY Gangnam style video is blocked in Germany, so I don't think your dispute will have any effect. Can you make it available for download? I would really like to see (and hear) it.
What cases are you talking about when you say "like this one"? There absolutely is no statutory fair use protection for mashups in the general case, and I'd be shocked if the case law is anything but subjective.
