    Correct me if I’m wrong, but aren’t they expensive simply because of startup model and having to pay off R&D? Meaning they should normalize over time.

      Why should Ukranians pay for that though?

      Although i strongly doubt, that they would have R&D justifying 4x the price of Ukrainian competitors, when people in the field say that the capabilities are similar.

        Fair point. At the same time, western stuff has always been more expensive, but at this point it borderline feels like a cope.

        In any case, what Spotify did does not exactly equal killing kids, that’s straight up russian propaganda.
