-----

We want to remind you that the price of your Premium Individual is changing soon.

We’re increasing the price of Premium Individual so that we can continue to invest in and innovate on our product offerings and features, and bring you the best experience.

As you're already on Premium, you will pay CA$9.99 until your billing date in October when your subscription will go up to the new price.

Thanks for being a fan of Premium.

The Spotify Team.

So what is the new price?! Why not show the new price too in the email?

Here is the link from the email: https://support.spotify.com/us/article/price-updates/\nThat does not give the new prices either!

I feel like companies using these dark patterns do not understand how off-putting this is to customers (I'd assume most customers can see right through this dark pattern, and they'd be slightly more annoyed because of this).","time":1693272238,"title":"Ask HN: What is with the Spotify price increase email?","type":"story"}],[33826937,{"by":"smtp_throwaway","descendants":4,"id":33826937,"kids":[33827095,33827076,33827355],"score":1,"text":"I'm searching for an apartment to rent, and I've found one that I really like. It's being rented out by a small, local rental company that has a very good reputation, and their application process involves:

- filling out a PDF rental application (contains personal info like SSN)

- sending a screenshot of my bank account and other accounts

- sending proof of income (e.g. paystubs, W-2, etc)

In principle, this all seems reasonable, but it's all sent over email, and since that isn't a secure way of transmitting this kind of data, I'm very hesitant to apply for the rental. I'd really like to rent the apartment, so is there anything I can do to apply, but in a more secure way (short of asking them to use something like DocuSign or HelloSign)? The best I've been able to come up with is that I could upload the documentation they need to a password-protected Dropbox, and then send them the password via SMS.","time":1669956687,"title":"Ask HN: Apartment company wants personal info over email","type":"story"}],[28546058,{"by":"gtirloni","descendants":8,"id":28546058,"kids":[28546100,28550928,28547017,28547849,28546065,28548283],"score":2,"text":"I got an email from them saying they renamed to "Momentive" but this is nowhere to be found in their website.","time":1631750088,"title":"Ask HN: Has SurveyMonkey Been Hacked?","type":"story"}]]
