How is it a "sales pitch"? I've had it since release and haven't seen anything in it for sale?

If someone didn't subscribe the first few times you ask, just stop asking. The 100th popup isn't going to change their mind.

So using it without paying is a sales pitch? Is that news? Spotify's free plan is the same, YouTube Music costs money.

I don't think it's fair to criticise a paid product for asking for you to pay for it.

I paid for my music in the iTunes Store. Why are they spamming me with adverts for a streaming service I don’t want, that they offer no free tier for?
