I’m assuming everyone’s received the below e-mail? Gutted as I’ve been using it for ages. What’s your plan now? Move onto the next cheapest, or is there a workaround?

sorted byThey currently have 10 different official exchange rates (& 20+ unofficial ones) dependant on what you buy, where you’re from & what you pay with. (edited)
Brazil is around £2.51
Bulgaria £3.93
Romania £3.46
UAE might be the one though as, at the moment, it appears to be £1.28 but it all depends on getting the payment method accepted of course.
This stinks of greed. They have proven the service can be provided at that price, but are going to screw everyone over anyway
It does say it only effects Argentina due to the way the payment is processed but you can bet it happen in all regions (edited)

I’ve got YT Music, Spotify and Deezer on my phone as well and Tidal, as good as it is, was probably my least used out of all of them.
Will still try and find another option when I get home though.
What's the best way of purchasing those? Sorry for sounding lazy... Currently at an airport queuing!
It is just greed, and the consumer has no choice. When all is digital, you cannot justify the difference between £1 and £15 (ish) per month for the same service for the reason of "because you earn more".
