As it should be. It costs money to host music and pay artists. There shouldn't be a free version, if it is ad driven or not.

It's $10/mo. Most of you pay more than that for your overpriced coffees.

This makes sense to me as well.

I don’t mind paying.

It doesn’t bother me, I neither use nor like Apple music.
