Why is Apple Music so expensive after the trial

I don't know about you guys but I feel like Apple Music is so expensive after the trial. Why though? Why does it cost so much when the trial is over?

Apple has overhead/infrastructure costs to provide the service and rights/licenses to pay for to stream, and of course they have to make a profit for shareholders...

A single user is in line with the other services. And the Family plan is a bargain in my opinion.

$9.99 is the same price as all of the other comparable services. The family plan is cheaper than the competition. How much do you think is reasonable?

Its comparable to other streaming services. And I can have my family use it for 14.99. That's a savings

I don't see $10/month as an extravagant amount. It seems to be the going rate. And if you factor in the family plan (up to 6 users for $15), it's down to $2.50/month per user. Not what I would call "so expensive".

If you never intend to use but pay, it's expensive. If you use it any reasonable amount of time per day, it's an immense bargain.

It's more confusing than it is expensive.

I don't think Apple Music is too expensive, but I'm not going to pay for renting music.
