Although the problem has gone unnoticed by many, the truth is that the matter is more serious than we think, at least for Spotify. ORn hacker has discovered a bug in offline mode that would allow using the premium service twice as long without having to pay for it. This means that a user who pays for six months you can use it for 12 months for the same price.
The Spotify app allows you offline mode but only for a while, about 30 days, after which it will try to put you in online mode. The bug in question allows you to dynamite this situation and take advantage of it. Thus a user can put the offline mode, unsubscribe from the premium service and return after 30 days, with which the user at the end of the year would have paid six months for the 12 month use. The trick is detailed in a Reddit thread, making it available to everyone and to anyone with a Spotify account. Unfortunately we do not know if it is compatible with other services that use the Spotify API or if it only works with the official Spotify app.
Cutting profits in half thanks to this bug in the Spotify app could be expensive for the service
Possibly Spotify has already corrected the situation since if the company of the popular streaming music service were to spread, it would face a drastic reduction in your income, an income that does not allow large business actions as has been seen lately in this type of services and companies.
Many criticize the fact of doing this every 30 days for such a low price, something that makes sense but It is true that many people still cannot access this service because it is an unattainable quota for them. That is why this trick has had and has such an impact on the web, although from here we recommend opting for the freemium account, an account that allows you to listen to the music you want with moments of announcements but in a more legal way.
